Our objective is to gain a greater understanding of how this approach was viewed by school personnel, in order to improve implementation in remote and northern First Nations communities. DESIGN: We conducted a qualitative case study using semi-structured interviews. SETTING: Interviews were conducted in First Nations schools located in northern Manitoba, Canada, in February 2018. PARTICIPANTS: We used purposive sampling in selecting the 23 school staff from First Nations communities. INTERVENTION: PAX-GBG is a mental health promotion intervention that teachers deliver in the classroom alongside normal instructional activities. It was implemented school-wide over 4 months from October 2017 to February 2018. OUTCOME MEASURES: We inquired about the participants’ perception of PAX-GBG and the whole school approach. We applied an iterative coding system, identified recurring ideas and classified the ideas into major categories. RESULTS: Implementing the PAX-GBG whole school approach improved students’ behaviour and created a positive school environment. Students were learning self-regulation, had quieter voices and demonstrated awareness of the PAX-GBG strategies. All teachers interviewed had used the programme.
