Board provides mental health services this summer

Near North District School Board (NNDSB) is pleased to offer mental health services throughout the summer.

The mental health team is providing on-going counselling to students and families who have already connected with the team and will be accepting new referrals throughout July and August.

Three youth drop-in wellness hubs are operating this summer for youth aged 10-18:

  • North Bay – OUTLoud North Bay, 123 Delaware Ave. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. For information email Seth at Seth.Compton@nearnorthschools.ca
  • Parry Sound – Mary Street Centre, 24 Mary St., Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. For information email Penny at penny.moffat@nearnorthschools.ca
  • Burk’s Falls – Legacy Life Centre, 44 Commercial Dr. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. For information email Dorothy at Dorothy.haggartdaavis@nearnorthschools.ca

A virtual group for students aged 7 to 11 will be held that teaches strategies to cope with anxiety, anger and impulsivity. Sessions will be held July 13, 20 and 27 and August 3, 10 and 17 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., and students are expected to attend all sessions.

The team is also offering webinars for students and families beginning July 14, and virtual drop-in sessions for parents. A wellness camp is being planned in August, with times and locations to be determined.
