Community Resources & Support Services
Knowing anyone at CDDHS and in the community may need support, we want to remind students and parents about the resources available to you, if you’re looking for extra support for yourself, or worried about someone you care about. Please reach out.
Students are encouraged to Book a Guidance Appointment for support with social, emotional, mental health concerns or academic support. Students can also reach out to our school Social Worker, Jessica Brunton, at 519-925-3834 ext. 306.
As a reminder, if someone’s well-being is at immediate risk, call 9-1-1.
