Family Wellness Worker Support (FWW)

Students can visit with FWW’s for a lot of different reasons, some examples are:

● if you are having a lot of feelings or intense feelings and need someone to talk to try to help you cope with them

● if you are having trouble with friendships or making new friends

● if you worry a lot

● if you have trouble sitting still in class or focusing on your schoolwork


An FWW also supports families. Some reasons that parents or guardians may want to connect with me are if they are:

● struggling with your child’s emotions or behavior and want support

● wanting someone to talk to

● looking for resources to support your child’s or your own mental health

● struggling financially and need support with community resources
