The Support and Aid for Families Electronically (SAFE) program, which provides counselling support to families by King's Social Work students, has expanded to include both the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) and the London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB). As well, the counselling program has launched a website to provide easier access to its services.
About the SAFE program:
The Support and Aid for Families Electronically (SAFE) program is a free and virtual community partnership that helps families of elementary and secondary school students with counselling to address multiple stressors, including the ongoing impact of COVID-19.
The pilot project of the SAFE program was available to all families with a child in elementary or secondary school within the Thames Valley District School Board. "Given the success of the SAFE pilot program, we are excited to expand our service delivery to include the London District Catholic School Board as well as school-referred youth within our community," says M. K. Arundel, Coordinator of Field Education for the King's School of Social Work.
