ADOLESCENTS
In school counseling
Adolescents respond best with a natural, non-judgemental, laid back and understanding down to earth approach. I continue to use this approach across the lifespan, with meaningful, sustainable and most important, client lead results.
Assisted in initial creation and implementation of in-school mental health and addictions program in 2013-2018.
provided individual counselling with student led goal setting.
Frequent collaboration with outside school support options for youth I worked with.
Provided classroom presentations on a regular basis-assisting teachers in reaching their outcomes as well.
Created individualized and classroom care plans.
Created programming and assisted in classroom implementation.
Group creation and facilitation in schools.
1 on 1 and groups always well attended
With student's permission, involved student's family members. This created true, meaningful change where necessary.
Open door policy-anyone is welcome, anytime my door was open. NO referral necessary in schools!
