Carman Collegiate would like to welcome Melissa Beaudry, the new Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM) counsellor. Melissa started at Carman Collegiate this past week. She is taking over the position from Tara Smoker, who now works for AFM in Winnipeg.
Melissa's role as an AFM counsellor at Carman Collegiate is to provide support and information to both students and parents. Students may consider meeting with her if they are concerned about their own involvement with alcohol, drugs or gambling, or if they have concerns about the alcohol, drug or gambling use of someone close to them. Parents may be interested in contacting Melissa for information and support in understanding the ways alcohol, drugs or gambling may be impacting their youth. Her goal is to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment for students and parents to seek support.
Students may also have contact with Melissa through classroom presentations on alcohol, drug and gambling awareness. These presentations seek to provide education and early prevention, giving students the opportunity to consider the risks and impacts of their choices.
She will be available for drop-in meetings, appointments, and phone calls at Carman Collegiate on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her private call line is 204 745 2810.
Welcome Melissa to the Carman Collegiate Community.
