WEP
WEP has been providing mental health
and wellness programming to Almadina
Language Charter Academy and the Cal-
gary Islamic School since 2008. Together,
these boards have four schools with over
1800 students in grades K-12.
The majority of students and families at
these schools are Muslim, and come from
over 40 different countries, speaking
many languages. Therefore, WEP strives
to meet the unique needs of this commu-
nity in a culturally sensitive manner.
Our programs include social-emotional
and mental health curriculum delivery,
skill-building groups, school and commu-
nity wide events, parent consultation,
and staff professional development. We
also work individually with students as
needed.
WEP believes that it takes strong families
and communities to raise strong children.
Examples of our community initiatives in-
clude:
Summer camps
Womens fitness groups
Parent social and educational events
Presentations/activities at youth
events
Partnerships with community asso-
ciations
Connecting students and families to
various community programs , in-

beyond what regular

I love the fact that the
students are being trained as
they come to our school and
surely this giving attitude
will permeate through to
every student. - Teacher
