Many of our families have suffered the loss of family members due to COVID19. If you would like your child to receive free counseling/therapy services please reach out to our department. We are working in connection with University Health and the city's Mental Health Services department to offer you access to psychologists and psychiatrists who specialize in grief. The holidays can be especially difficult times for these families. Even if you are not one who has lost loved ones, please keep your friends and neighbors in mind during the holidays.
