Family School Liaison Worker

Meet Miss Wendy

I help to promote the overall well-being of our students. This includes academic success and the social, emotional, and mental health of our students and their families. This may include one-on-one counseling, group programming, and in-class support to encourage learning and growth, build resilience, and develop social skills. For families, I can provide parenting support and help develop strategies to manage challenging situations. I can refer and connect families to community agencies and resources that support a variety of needs.

Students and caregivers can contact me to discuss concerns relating to grief/loss, anxiety, depression, anger management, peer conflicts, stress, family change/conflict, self-harm, or suicidal ideation.

Meet Miss Chantelle

As an FSLW, my role is to offer holistic support to our students as they navigate the academic, social, emotional, and personal aspects of growing up. My goal is to equip students with the skills and tools they need to thrive.

What I find most rewarding about being an FSLW is the flexibility to tailor my approach based on the unique needs of our students. I may work with students individually to provide emotional support, or in group settings where we can engage in meaningful discussions and build important skills like communication, problem solving and resilience. I also visit classrooms to deliver lessons on topics like friendship, safety, mental health, and emotional literacy.

For families, I am here to support you as you navigate the joys and challenges of parenting. I also connect families with external resources and agencies that can assist with more complex concerns.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I'm happy to help in any way I can!
