I used cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, mindfulness, tri-phasic trauma, and interpersonal interventions according to each student's needs. I also planned and co-facilitated counselling groups focusing on developing social skills and connections. I offered psycho-education and appropriate on-campus/community referrals.
