Description – East SOS is an affiliate of Please Pass The Love (community partner). The purpose of the club is to create more mental health awareness amongst students, staff and families at East. Our goal is to destigmatize the issues within mental health and create a student support system.

Types of Activities – Wellness days, Mental Health Awareness Month (October) – Mental Health Walk

Major Projects – Winter Dance – SOS will be taking this event on. We do not have a date but we are thinking the first week of February. Principal Versteeg is aware and supportive of this efforWe plan to offer workshops with Please Pass the Love for students around self care, understanding positive coping skills, and creating good habits. These would be held during our meeting days more than likely. Once we are established we hope to have “wellness days” where we invite community partners or teachers/staff to lead some SEL work (EX: puppies from ARL, mural with the Art Center etc)
