Thunder Bay Catholic District School board has a team of 7 Board-employed social workers and psychotherapists, who work to service students in all of our schools through the School Counselling and Support Services program.
School Counsellors can provide brief counselling services (1-6 sessions) to help with personal school and life challenges connected to: mood, worries, stress, anxiety, identity needs, social conflict, difficult experiences, and other challenges.
School Counsellors can also help with referrals to other community services, based on your needs and agreement to further service.
The Counsellor will negotiate a service plan for you or your child with you, discussing a plan for 1-6 sessions. Typically, services are offered during school hours in person at the school. Other options include virtual counselling, or phone-based services. Services are voluntary and confidential. Visit our FAQ section for more details.
