School-Based Support Teams

     What is the school-based support team?

      The program was created to provide support to students from grades JK to 12 in Brantford
      and Halton, in both Catholic and Public Boards, who are experiencing symptoms of mental health problems and whose
      daily life  is being negatively impacted.

      Support can be provided in a variety of formats to accommodate and best support the student, family and school staff. 
      The type of service offered will be determined in collaboration with the school, student and family.  Support can be provided
      to students and families throughout the year, not just the school year.

      The school-based support team provides support in three general areas:

 

    Individual
 Family Group
      • Brief Therapy
      • Transitions
      • School Staff Support
      • Support students struggling with mental health

  • Parenting groups
  • In-home support
  • Individual/family therapy

  •     Have thoughts of self-harm
  •     Lack coping and problem-solving strategies
