Mental Health Supports Available to Help Individuals and Families During COVID-19

There is no question, the COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on mental wellbeing.  For some, it can affect learning, or cause significant emotional issues.

“These are stressful times, not just in our schools, but in our families and across the wider community,” says Deb Crawford, Director of Education.  “The COVID-19 pandemic brings new challenges and trials almost every day.”

St. Clair Catholic is here to support students, families and staff.  Students or caregivers seeking immediate mental health supports can text 226-402-1593; or visit the Mental Health and Wellbeing web page on the Board website.

St. Clair Catholic counsellors work collaboratively with families to respond to student needs for counselling.  Students, parents/guardians and caregivers can either be referred by a classroom teacher or self refer. 

The self referral form can be found here. Individuals who submit the form will receive a call within 72 hours.
