Note on Confidentiality:
Please know that when I speak to someone (student/staff/family) it is confidential. I will not tell anyone what I am told unless I am given permission to share. However, there are some circumstances where I MUST legally breach confidentiality such as when someone is in danger from themselves or from someone else, such as in suspected case of child abuse or neglect.
Masks:
Please note I will be wearing my mask at all times while working with students in my office as I cannot guarantee distancing.

How to Access My Services:
I am actually fairly easy to access. Parents and students can refer themselves to me by calling me or by sending me an email. Also, students and parents can access me by asking for my services by contacting the School Administration or by speaking with their child's teacher.
What Service Looks Like:
After receiving the referral/email/phone call I will reach out where appropriate and send home a consent form for Parent/Caregiver consent. Then I will assess what is happening and how I can help. We still have some planning to do but service usually takes place one - to - one, in small groups, as well as in class with me offering support to the whole class on some issues.
Sometimes, when it looks as if support should be ongoing or long term then the support of someone outside the school would be best. In that case, the best support would be a referral to a care provider outside the school. It would be my job to assist in those referrals as needed and as necessary.
On-line Services:
Many of the services listed above including family and student support are available online on family request. If required please feel free to contact me and we can discuss your need.
To access online services you would need access to a computer with a microphone, headphones/speaker, camera and highspeed internet. The program used is called ZOOM TeleHealth. Services provided are considered confidential.
