A coalition of Ontario student groups, colleges, and universities has asked the province to commit significantly more resources to helping students with mental health issues pursuing PSE. A recent report by the College Student Alliance, the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance, Colleges Ontario, and the Council of Ontario Universities says that providing the necessary level of support is something that schools cannot do on their own. Rather, the coalition calls for a collaborative “whole community” approach to the issue, which would involve introducing mandatory curriculum that would teach children and teens psychological resilience, starting in kindergarten and continuing through high school.
