Counselling Services
Counsellors assist students with a wide variety of educational life/career and personal concerns. Counselors are available by drop-in or appointment (recommended). Students can benefit from the following services:
School Counselling
We provide assistance in choosing the courses and programs best suited to a student’s abilities and occupational interests. Assistance and strategies are offered on over-coming difficulties in learning, studying and taking exams.
Life / Career Counselling
We help and encourage students to explore values, beliefs, interests, abilities, and strengths through counselling, computer-assisted research, and resource information.
Personal Counselling
We assist students who are experiencing personal difficulties which interfere with learning progress. All discussions between students and counselors will be kept confidential, whenever possible.
Addictions Counselling
Our Addictions Counsellor works with Alberta Health Services and is available to meet with students struggling with drugs and alcohol at the Comp. Appointments are made by a referral from from the school counselling staff or by calling the Alberta Health Services – Addiction and Mental Health Services intake line at 877.652.4700.
