Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services, Brantford-Brant

Counselling services aim to support children/youth and their families by:

• addressing identified needs and challenges
• strengthening awareness and understanding of the challenges and why they might be occurring
• reducing the severity of mental health problems or symptoms
• strengthening coping strategies, and reducing the need for more intensive services

Counselling services can be provided for children and youth experiencing:

• changes in mood swings or suddenly feeling anxious, sad, tearful, worried
• problems at school: with learning performance, peers and/or classroom behaviour; sudden changes in daily patterns
• difficulty sleeping or staying asleep or problems with appetite
• an increase in physical complaints: stomach ache, headache, not feeling well
• behavioural changes: excessive anger, acting out (hitting, fighting, extreme tantrums, stealing); bedwetting
• decreased interest in previously enjoyed hobbies, foods, activities

Prioritization is determined by each individual's unique needs, informed through internal consultation and shaped collaboratively with input from community prioritization tables

• individual and family counselling
