Family School Liaison Counsellors

 The Family School Liaison Program is made up of seven Family School Liaison Counsellors (FSLC), one Child and Youth Care Worker (CYCW), and one Clinical Team Leader. The counselling services provided by the program are free of charge and are provided to students and their families within the Horizon School Division. The program is designed to offer support for children, youth, families and school staff with the general goal of improving the student's personal, social and academic success. The program provides a link between home and school for the student and family.

The FSLC's provide individual counselling in various areas including peer/friendship issues, self-esteem, anger management, conflict resolutions, mentoring/positive role modeling, organizational and motivational checks, homework skills, attendance issues, behavior modification, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, violence, abuse, divorce, and many more. They also provide group counselling, classroom presentations, parent/school staff workshops, and connection and referral to community agencies. The Family School Liaison Program  offers a peer mentorship program called Stepping Stones at various schools throughout the division.
