Counselling is available at Ysgol Rhiwabon every TUESDAY 9.10a.m. - 2.55p.m.
There is a 'drop in' service available which runs during lunch times where you can call in to see the counsellor about the service, to ask any questions, or to gather information.
You can access the service by going to Elaine directly on Tuesday, via the 'drop in', or by asking a teacher, ESW, school nurse or youth worker. If you want you can txt Elaine with your name and form.
The Counselling Service is for any pupil in the school who has a worry or concern and needs support to deal with it.
