This year, CCACs are introducing a new program, hiring 144 nurses to work with district school boards to address the needs of students with mental health and addictions issues as part of the Open Minds, Healthy Minds: Ontario’s Comprehensive Mental Health and Addictions Strategy.

With an initial three year focus aimed at children and youth, the Mental Health and Addiction Nurses in District School Boards Program is a key investment outlined in the Strategy which will provide support to address three key areas: fast access to high-quality services, early identification and intervention and supporting kids with unique needs. The goal of the program is to provide mental health and addiction supports and services through an inter-disciplinary team involving district school board mental health leaders, mental health workers and CCAC mental health and addictions nurses for children and youth in Ontario’s 72 publicly funded district school boards.

Update December 19/11, 1pm
On Thursday last week, you will have received an email from me that indicated a Second Call for Nominations for the Member-at-Large positions of Nursing Education, Nursing Practice and Nursing Research.

Just to clarify, the original Call for Nominations for these three positions, and the other two MAL positions and Committee vacancies, was issued some months ago (and also advertised in the RNJournal, July\August 2011). The original deadline date is today, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19 at 5:00pm.

The integrity of this deadline will still be respected, e.g. if nominations are in good order and correctly completed, and are received by 5:00pm today, December 19, they will be accepted (and then vacancies will be closed to further nominations).

I apologize for the confusion in the email of last Thursday – this was sent to encourage nominations where there were still none.

If you have any questions or require further information, please be in touch with Penny Lamanna, RNAO Board Affairs Coordinator at plamanna@RNAO.org.
