Counselling Service Available to Students and Families

Ms Kirsten Taylor, Guidance Counsellor —

Kia ora OGHS community,

My first whaiora for the day provided me with more health and well being than I afforded him! You are all welcome to make use of my counselling services during term time and I thank you for allowing me into your homes remotely. The first point of contact is to send me an email on tyr@otagogirls.school.nz and I will respond that day with an invitation to a google/zoom meeting. I can also be contacted on the school phone system. My extension is 829. Our Public Health nurse Rebecca Young will be able to offer a range of services remotely should they be required. Please contact me and I will arrange this on behalf of the student.

If there is an urgent matter requiring my attention outside of term time please let me know via email and I will make myself available. If you have any urgent safety concerns, EPS (Emergency Psychiatric Services) at the Dunedin Hospital will continue to operate, and can be contacted 24/7 on 0800 46 78 46 or dial 111 if it is an emergency.
