Additionally, young people are encouraged to engage in our psychological assessments to measure their coping and resiliency. These self-assessments are reported upon by our Clinical Psychologist and information shared with the Wellbeing Team and Residential Home to provide a richer picture of the young person and build upon their psychological profile.

Return to Learn
