Virtual Groups & Well-Being Sessions 

Social Work Well-Being Groups 2023

What are Social Work Well-Being Groups?

Social Work Well-Being Groups (offered on Google Meet) are for students who would like to learn supportive coping skills in a small group setting.  These groups are run by HDSB School Social Workers. 

Level 1  Social Work Groups are for students who would like an introduction to learn more about Anxiety or Low Mood. Level 2 groups are for those students who have some background and/or previous support with these topics and would like to further their understanding and practice skills in the group.  

Level 1 is not a prerequisite to Level 2. Students can sign up for which group meets their needs. 

Please note: If you are in crisis, please contact ROCK crisis line at 905-878-9785.
