Today, we were proud to present our donation to the Moving Lives Forward Scholarship Program.
Breaking the stigma around mental health and ensuring our members and our communities have the supports they need has always been a priority for our union.
This is why NAPE has committed to reaching out into communities across the province to provide tangible supports to those who need it through a collaboration with the Health Care Foundation ‘s Scholarship Program.
The Program is province-wide and supports individuals to grow and heal through the pursuit of higher education and/or skill development opportunities. The program is open to any individual, 17 years of age and up, who have received services from a provincial Mental Health and Addictions Program during the past two years. The scholarships, valued up to $1,500 each, are offered three times each year.
