Meet our Executive Director and our highly committed Board of Directors.

Sue Stephenson, M.Ed.
Executive Director and Founder – 647.400.2801 suestephenson@suswb.ca
Susan Stephenson, (aka Sue) loved going to school so much (no kidding around) that she became a teacher, then a consultant and then a principal —over a 35 year career in four school boards in Ontario in elementary and secondary schools. A highlight in her career was being the founding principal of North Kipling JMS which became the lighthouse school for this program. Since “retiring” from Toronto District School Board she has become an author of four books on trust, laughter, humour and happiness. She is excited to see her work take a new direction as a charity to bring Stand UP for Student Well-Being to youth in more schools. She is not joking when she says we all need to lighten up, laugh more and live on the bright side of life. Sue is the author of the book Kidding Around: connecting kids to happiness, laughter and humour. She is a Certified Laughter Leader – Expert with the World Laughter Tour and a Member of the Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor.
