Stigma-Free Conversation Cards
Below you’ll find our “Conversation Cards” to help you kick-start your conversation with students about Mental Health and Diverse-ability & Inclusion.

2. The other person offers a response.
3. Then discuss the answer together.
Real Talk Questions About Mental Health (Grades 4-7)
• Societal stigma: a negative belief that society has about a specific group of people, usually based on a stereotype (a general assumption).
• Structural stigma: rules that make it hard for people to achieve certain things based on negative beliefs about them.
Anxiety comes up when we think that something bad is going to happen. You can feel anxiety in your body: you may feel your heart beat fast, or that you cannot breathe (you actually can breathe during anxiety). You may feel hot and sweaty, feel shaky, or feel nauseous. These sensations are signs that your body is getting ready to act: fight, flight, or freeze. They may not feel good, but they cannot hurt you.
Real Talk - Diverse-ability and Inclusion (Grades 4-7)
Inclusion is important because when we exclude others, it is usually because we are stigmatizing them. Being excluded makes people feel lonely or less worthy than other others. The truth is, everyone is worthy and deserves to be treated with respect and without stigma.
Some developmental disabilities include autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, and learning disabilities.
*The Real Talk Questions About Mental Health Conversation Cards were created by Dr. Dana Wasserman, Registered Psychologist.

Below are a lot of mental health Quizzes that you can take to help you make sense of how you are feeling. Remember, these quizzes don’t count as a diagnosis and you should always talk to your doctor – they will be able to answer all of your questions.
Anxiety
Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED)
This test is a Screen for Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) that all youth can take. You will be asked 40 questions and you will add up your answers to get a score. The score will show you if you may have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder or Significant School Avoidance.
Use this quiz to help you find out if you should see a doctor for anxiety or a panic disorder. Before filling this out, think back about your mood during the past month.
Have you ever had what you thought was a panic attack? This 22-question quiz asks you about anxiety and these attacks to see if you have a panic disorder and should consult a doctor.
Depression
The Depression Test by Psych Central is a brief 18-question quiz that will help you see if you may have depression. When filling it out, think about how you have felt during the last 7 days.
Bipolar Disorder
Psych Central Bipolar Self Test
Bipolar disorder can be hard to spot because sometimes it is confused with an anxiety disorder or depression. This 9-question quiz will give you an idea about if you may have bipolar disorder.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
This is an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder screening test to be filled out by parents to find out if their child may have OCD. Note that OCD is sometimes confused with other anxiety disorders.
General Mental Health Tests
This is a great test because it measures your mental health in general. You will be asked several questions and you will be given points for each category – ability to enjoy life, resilience, balance, self-actualization and flexibility. Your score in each will let you know how well you are taking care of your mental health. This is great for all ages, but younger youth may need help from parents.
Psychology Today Mental Health Assessment
Are you thinking of seeing a counsellor? This mental health quiz will let you know what you need to work on and then you can find a therapist through their website, Psychology Today.
