About WRDSB Psychological Services

At the WRDSB, psychology staff work with students, staff and parents to support learning and mental health. Each school in our system has a psychological services consultant who is dedicated to providing assessment, consultation and intervention support. Psychology staff play an integral role in providing a deeper understanding of why a student may be struggling and developing strategies in collaboration with parents and teachers to support their specific learning needs and their mental health.

Perhaps most importantly, they help students better understand their own strengths and areas of need. This empowers them to become self-advocates for their learning needs, and their physical and mental health in school and in life, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.
