Nova Heartland is investigating mental health supports in educational environments. The Master of Education in Educational Leadership grad’s research focused on K-12 school systems and found there is “unfulfilled potential” when it comes to implementing and scaling up these resources with educational systems.

She conducted the research with the help of a British Columbia Graduate Scholarship, a merit-based scholarship meant to break down barriers to affordable and accessible post-secondary education.
