2018 Campaign
On Friday, December 7th, people across New Brunswick will be celebrating Dots for Kids Day. 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.
As part of the Dots for Kids Day RING A BELL Campaign, students from kindergarten to grade eight will be learning about mental health in schools across the province from December 3rd to 7th through lesson plans & activities, a classroom video presentation, and a bell ringing event.
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 the RING A BELL Campaign is a powerful example of the kind of social innovation necessary to break through the silence and stigma that often surrounds this issue.
The RING A BELL Campaign is possible through sponsorship from Bell Aliant and in-kind support from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development

School Registration
As always, we are asking schools to register if they plan on taking part in the campaign. In this way, we can provide additional support as needed. Registering also allows us to track which schools participate and bring our collective voices together.
Once you have registered, we will contact you with more information. You may also download and access the educator resources below for use in your classroom. Thank you for participating in this powerful community initiative!
