The Wellness Centre offers a unique model of services including counselling and support to assist students and their families to deal with life challenges.
The main focus of the Wellness Centre staff is to provide:
crisis intervention and mental health assessment for students and their families
advice, assistance and referral to appropriate services outside the school
parent consultations and education
proactive programs and support
secondary consults with other allied staff and teachers
liaison and network building with other schools and agencies
Assessment and appropriate referral may require some short-term counselling and support to ensure that the best long term solutions are found.
Wellness Centre services are considered a ‘first aid’ and short-term support option. If long-term or intensive counselling is required, Wellness Centre staff will assist families to identify and access external services.
