GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS
Northern's School Council has prepared a Guide to Mental Health Resources and Supports for students. The Guide describes the resources available within the school. It also lists a number of telephone lines and walk-in clinics across Toronto offering immediate, confidential and free support and/or counselling for Toronto teenagers along with hyperlinks to their respective websites for further information. The Guide is available on Northern's website (northern-secondary.com) under the Guidance section (scroll down for attachment).
