Students can self-refer via the Wellbeing page in the Portal Workspace on SEQTA. Alternatively, Parents/Caregivers can request a counselling appointment for their child by communicating with their child’s House Leader. Furthermore students and families can email the Wellbeing Centre at WBC@gleeson.catholic.edu.au to request an appointment Please note, this is a voluntary service that students must consent to.
A referral may be appropriate to assist with a range of issues including but not limited to:
- Friendship/Relationship Issues
- Goal setting
- Organisational skills
- Emotional regulation
- Social skills
- Family Issues
- General stress
- Grief and loss
Please note that a Student Counsellor cannot replace the work of a mental health professional. If it becomes apparent that a student is in crisis; or has a suspected undiagnosed mental health concern, the Student Counsellor will contact the parent/caregiver to discuss referral to an appropriate external provider. If the student is receiving external supports, there is capacity for Student Counsellors to liaise and work in partnership.
