Grades 6-8
Subjects: Personal Wellness

Overview

211 is an anonymous, free, and confidential service that anyone can call to get information for a non-emergency personal need. Trained Community Navigators from 211 will listen and then direct callers to resources, programs and services to offer support. 211 NB has created lessons which feature role play, discussion, and even a mock call, in hopes to provide all Grades 6-8 students the information and confidence they need to be able to use this service at any time.
