Are you experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, loneliness, or simply struggling to feel happy and hopeful?

If so, please consult our school's social worker. Social Work services continue to be available during remote learning to provide brief counselling and support aimed at improving student mental health and well-being. All support will be provided virtually using MS TEAMS secure video or telephone.

Support is available Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can call 905-388-7020 ext. 5089 or email valconin@hwcdsb.ca during these hours to be directly connected to the school social worker. If you are required to leave a message your call will be returned within 1-2 school days.
