Student Assistance Counselors

Student Assistant Counselors (SACs) provide support and confidential counseling for students and families when social, emotional or mental health issues affect a student's school experience, including those related to alcohol and drugs, depression, anxiety, family and friend issues, and other stressors. SACs can help students and families find appropriate community resources, such as rehabilitation and treatment facilities, when required.

Referrals can be made by the students themselves, staff, parents or other concerned individuals and should be directed to one of the SACs listed on the right side of this webpage.
