At Diamond Valley College, students can access short to medium-term counselling through our dedicated wellbeing team, which includes our Wellbeing Leader, Vanessa Caruso and Mental Health Practitioner, Alex Keegan. We collaborate with students to understand their specific mental health needs and provide tailored support. We also work closely with external agencies to ensure comprehensive care is considered. We make appropriate referrals to connect young people with local community services that can offer ongoing support, using a holistic approach to address student’s overall wellbeing.
Additionally, students may receive support from Elysium Psychology every Wednesday by appointment. This is pre-arranged in advance and in consultation with Elysium Psychology, please not there are out of pocket costs associated with this service. Please contact our wellbeing team if you are interested in this option.
