Special Services Team

Child & Youth Care Practitioner 

Child and Youth Workers of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board respond to the social/emotional and behavioural needs of students through direct intervention and consultation. Child and Youth Care Practitioners support, advocate, and facilitate on behalf of students. CYCPs also contribute to the development and implementation of preventative programs to foster healthy school environments, in collaboration with other professionals, family, and community.  

School Social Worker

The school social worker is a School Board appointed resource person available to the community of St. Marcellinus Secondary School. As a member of the school support team, the Social Worker may provide counselling to individual students, groups of students or families with referrals to specialized community resources. The School Social Worker is designated as the Attendance Counsellor for St. Marcellinus. Students of compulsory school age who are absent from school without a legitimate reason may be referred to the Social Worker/Attendance Counsellor.

He/she uses specialized knowledge of human behaviour, emotion, personality and mental processes to make diagnoses. He/she uses her/his therapeutic skills to help people make healthy changes in their coping style, as well as emotional and behavioural patterns. Our school psychological associate is available to meet with students, teachers, counsellors, principals and parents regarding any student who is experiencing academic, behavioural, social or emotional problems.
