    Having All About Mental Empowerment come and present their workshop to all our students was great! We are a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school, and they were able to tailor the presentation to the variety of grade levels. Students left feeling informed and empowered about how to support their mental health and persevere through challenges.

  • Hawthorn Public School

    At Hawthorn Public School we received two of the workshops (Resiliency and How to Build a Positive Self-Image in a Digital World) offered by Tara and Dr. Bisleen. Dr. Bisleen did a wonderful job coordinating the workshops with our school. She was amazing at keeping the students accountable and engaged! She brought in some props and had many examples that she used to connect with students in a more meaningful way. Students walked away feeling empowered!

  • Halton District School Board

    Dr. Bisleen Attli and Tara Rawana from All About Mental Empowerment provided engaging, experiential virtual learning sessions on the topic of 'Nutrition and Well-Being' for over 5000 staff and students in the Halton District School Board (HDSB). Their sessions were a part of the HDSB Well-Being in Action Series which is a monthly series that involves a community partner sharing an everyday well-being practice through experiential learning with students in Kindergarten to Grade 12. Dr. Attli and Tara were an absolute pleasure to work with! They provided detailed, inclusive lesson plans for the sessions ahead of time, and they responded promptly to all communication and feedback. Dr. Attli and Tara are deeply knowledgeable about nutrition, mental health, and well-being. They skillfully shared this knowledge in a youth friendly, engaging manner. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

  • Shaw Public School

    Your presentation to our South Asian Families Advisory Committee (SAFAC) on Mental Health was well received by the parent community. Parents were able to ask questions to clarify any misunderstandings of the different aspects of the topic. Also, the handbook (Mental Health Matters) shared with parents is a great resource to support the raising of resilient children. Feedback from parents was very positive. The second presentation which was geared towards students (Positive Body Image) has empowered students to think before using social media. Students admitted that it is challenging to let go of their devices, however, the presentation supported a reflection of how much they use it and when they need to put it away to support a healthy body and mind as they grow. The presentation questions you shared with staff supported the continued discussions on Mental Health in the classrooms. Your dynamic presentation style and knowledge on Mental Health has made a positive impact on our school community.
