Student Services - Counselling

Salish Counselling Department

Counselling:
Counsellors facilitate the educational, personal, social, emotional and career development of students in the school system.  Counsellors provide information on graduation requirements, course selection, career planning and post-secondary information, as well as study and organizational skills.  Counsellors meet with students for one to one and/or group counselling for such things as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, friendship concerns, mindfulness, building resilience etc.  Counsellors liaise with community members and can refer students to appropriate agencies for additional counselling and support as needed.

How can I connect with a counsellor?
We encourage you to contact your child's counsellor over the phone or by email to consult.

Students are assigned to a counsellor based on the student's last name.

What would I discuss with a counsellor?
Personal counselling – A confidential discussion about personal issues that are of concern to you.

Academic counselling - discussion about academic concerns, course selection, graduation planning, post-secondary, and vocational planning.

Salish Secondary also has a Career Center and a Career Facilitator, who also helps students plan for post – secondary and who is the point person for District Career Programs, Apprenticeships, Work Experience, and Scholarships
