Catholic Schools Program
Counselling and wellbeing support for students experiencing personal, family or emotional challenges at school.
Is this the right support?
This service may be right if:
• a student is experiencing emotional or personal challenges
• family or relationship issues are affecting wellbeing
• a student would benefit from additional support at school
• a school has referred a student for counselling support
Support is delivered in collaboration with schools and families.
How it works
- Referral through the school
- Initial discussion and consent
- Counselling sessions with the student
- Ongoing support where appropriate
Support may include:
• individual counselling
• support for emotional wellbeing
• assistance managing personal or family challenges
• connection with additional services if required
Who this is usually suitable for
- Students attending participating Catholic schools
- Students experiencing emotional or wellbeing challenges
- Students referred by school staff or families
Suitability is confirmed through the school referral process.
