Social Worker


Dr. Ingrid Thompson has been offering counselling services since December 2018 for students, families, and staff.

This is a school-based service that aims to assist students who are exhibiting difficulties at school due to social, emotional, or behavioral problems. Students’ well-being is crucial to student success. When students are preoccupied with other concerns, they cannot participate fully in learning. Our counselling service provides the following key features;

  • Early intervention, prevention, treatment, and the promotion of positive social, emotional, and behavioral development.
  • Improvement of student learning and well-being.
  • Family counselling/support, i.e. providing help to families dealing with problem that impact the whole family such as ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, illness, traumatic events, divorce/separation, or other concerns.
  • Prevention services such as giving tips for creating a positive home environment.
  • Provide training for parents/guardians and teachers on how to manage challenging behaviors.
  • Provide tips/assistance to classroom teachers to help them incorporate effective strategies or additional supports to assist a student.
  • Assist teachers in setting classroom goals to work on about specific student behaviors.
  • Assisting in the referral and connecting parents/guardians to additional services in the community or outside of school (if necessary).
  • Provides individual services for students experiencing emotional, social, or behavioural difficulties in school, or at risk for developing problems.
