A Student Assistance Counselor (SAC) assists students with any personal issue that negatively impacts their learning and/ or emotional development. The SAC meets with students on an individual or small group basis to help them develop coping skills and solve problems.
SACs provide support and confidential counseling for students and families to support issues such as:
Substance Use and Misuse
Mental Health Concerns
Adjustment and Transition
Family Dynamics
Friendship/Relationship Dynamics
Gender and Sexuality
Eating Disorders
Loss/Grief
SACs can help students and families find appropriate supports and community resources, such as therapists, rehabilitation and treatment facilities.
Referrals can be made by the students themselves, staff, parents/guardians or other concerned individuals. Referrals made to SACs and any subsequent information gathered remains confidential.
