​On Friday, December 2^nd people across New Brunswick will be celebrating the 12^th annual Ring a Bell Campaign.  Partners for Youth have put out the following message to schools:

 “This campaign is part of a grassroots movement that has been empowering youth, family, and community to take positive actions in support of kids’ mental health since 2010.

The goal of the Ring A Bell Campaign is to raise awareness and inspire youth, their families, and communities to take positive actions in support of youth mental health. By taking part in this collaborative process, we are recognizing that this campaign is a powerful example of the kind of social innovation necessary to break stigma and support everyone in our community, recognizing that everyone has mental health.”

 On Thursday, December 1st @ 1:25 (there are no students on Friday) a brief script will be read over the intercom explaining the purpose of the campaign. After the script is read, someone will ring a bell over the intercom for one more minute.
