This presentation will share results of an efficacy evaluation of a program currently in its pilot phase : Let’s Talk: Finding Reliable Mental Health Information and Resources (Grades 7-8). It was delivered in Canadian schools in the province of Ontario and completed in June, 2014. The program was designed to help students recognize, find and authenticate reliable mental health information and resources online, and to involve teachers across Canada through self-directed training.  Let’s Talk used a variety of multi-media tools to engage both populations.
