Psychological Services

When a student is having difficulty in school despite ongoing educational interventions, a referral to Psychological Services can be very helpful to better understand the social, emotional and learning needs of the child/youth and make recommendations for optimal learning, school success, and improved mental health.

How do I get a referral?

Referrals to psychological services are made by the school principal. Psychological Service Brochure
