Student Services and Wellness
The mission of the Student Services and Wellness Department is to provide all students with the tools and supports they need to be healthy and successful not only academically, but holistically as well. We believe that student success encompasses not just academic achievement, but also emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. Our clinical team consists of Psychologists, Mental Wellness Workers, Guidance Counsellors, Speech and Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapy. Clinical positions posted below.
“Working in remote and smaller communities has given me the opportunity to forge strong, personal relationships with students, teachers, and families, making my work feel meaningful and fulfilling as I get to see the long-term effects of my support. I also have the unique opportunity to learn about and engage with Indigenous cultures which helps develop my cultural competence when I learn to respect and remember to integrate cultural practices and traditions more frequently into the work that I do. I also love working more closely with my fellow clinicians because we depend on each other a lot more since we live in smaller communities, which has helped improve my experience of different disciplines and built stronger relationships. Also, being able to live in Northern Manitoba has helped me appreciate the slower pace of life and connect with myself and nature, something I often took for granted. I feel a lot of purpose doing the work that I do in my Area, supporting my close-knit communities.” – Silpa Sasikumar, School Psychologist, Area 4.
