Introduction and Background

Ontario students navigate their lives in a complex world.
This includes making choices about substances and device use.
With access to accurate, reliable information, students are better equipped to make choices that support their mental health, strengthen connection with themselves and others, and foster belonging.
Connect Quest provides schools and boards with accessible, student-informed tools to:
- Engage students in conversations about substance use health and balanced device use
- Strengthen connectedness and belonging in three critical domains:
- connection to self
- connection to community – including family and friends, school
- connection to nature
- Encourage and support student leadership in fostering positive school climates
