Mental Health Staff and Support

Building a strong sense of belonging is an important thing we can do to create a safe school environment. Everyone is valued, respected, supported, included and personally accepted in this environment.

When schools create a sense of belonging where students find a place they are nurtured and cared for, then the school and wider community will be a safer place to go to learn and to live.

We have staff members that support our students, do risk assessments, and have conversations regularly about student safety.

Mental Health Specialists
One-to-one and small group counseling with some of our most at-risk students.

Mental Health Liaisons
One-to-one and small group counseling with students who struggled with attendance and engagement. Mental Health Liaisons also complete home visits and link families with resources to assist the student at the systems level.

School Counselors
Universal support available to all students.
