Introductions Ms Andrea Wang andreawang@chijsec.edu.sg Ms Susan Chong Mrs Mathews susanchong@chijsec.edu.sg mathews@chijsec.edu.sg
Counselling is…. Not about advice giving A journey together with our students Confidential (though not completely) For BIG and small problems Ranging from ‘rants of the day’ to deeper emotional/mental health issues Not a miracle solution Can’t solve all problems Support our students the best we can
Counselling in CHIJ… How can students see us? Via referrals from others Walk-in Done during non curriculum timings (eg: Assembly, Contact Time, after school)
FAQs for parents Can I find out what my daughter spoke to you about? Yes you can. However as counselling is confidential, you may not be able to know all the details. How do I refer my daughter to see you? Email us! Ms Andrea Wang – andreawang@chijsec.edu.sg Mrs Mathews – mathews@chijsec.edu.sg Ms Susan Chong – susanchong@chijsec.edu.sg Drop us a call via the school phone line
FAQs for parents Can I speak to you for consultations? Yes you can always arrange to meet with us to discuss about your child My daughter is seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist/therapist outside of school. Can she also see you? Usually not encouraged (therapy fatigue, confusing for child) Work closely with external agencies and partners See how we can best complement each other and support your daughter best
