College Counselling
Student and staff wellbeing is a key consideration at Mater Dei.
A full time Counsellor is employed at the College. Services provided include in-school individual and group support and staff professional development in relation to wellbeing and mental health.
The College Counsellor's Office
is a welcoming and safe space for students
The School Counsellor will work to enhance wellbeing through our academic and pastoral care teams. Along with College staff, they will liaise with outside agencies and assist in providing positive outcomes for students, to improve attendance and strengthen a sense of belonging for students to the College community.
In line with the Australian Psychological Society professional and ethical guidelines, students will be able to self-refer to the College Counsellor. Referral suggestions can also be made by parents, and teaching staff. Alternatively, you can contact the appropriate House Leader to discuss a referral.
