MAY 3-9TH CHILDREN & YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH WEEK STUDENT HANDBOOK
SINGLE SESSION
& BRIEF SERVICE
COUNSELLING
What is a Single Session?
After your intake is completed, you will be scheduled for a
single session with one or two counsellors. We use a brief
narrative/solution focused model. This means we focus on
the strengths and needs of the family to develop solutions
together.
How long will the session be?
The session will be about 1.5- 2 hours long.
What can I expect?
You will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will help us
understand how we can be helpful. Once the questionnaire
is reviewed by the counsellor(s), the session will begin by
exploring strengths, needs, what has been helpful in the
past, explore barriers, and develop a plan. You will be
offered a copy of your summary note at the end of the
session and will be asked to fill out an anonymous survey to
help us improve service moving forward.
What happens after a Single Session?
You and your counsellor will discuss next steps. Those
options may include:
Brief service (three sessions over 8 weeks to continue to
develop solutions together, discuss coping skills, and
build on strengths);
Long-term services (each location may have a different
wait list); and,
Closing your file.
What happens if I completed Brief Service but I want
more services?
Once brief service is over, you will discuss with your
counsellor your needs and goals moving forward. You will
either continue with your counsellor, transfer to another
counsellor, or be placed on a waitlist.

As a youth, I can't receive FIREFLY
services without my parents knowing.
FACT: FIREFLY is here to support youth to
get the help they need. We strongly
encourage youth to involve their
parent/caregiver(s) for support;
however, we recognize that this isn't
always possible. If you need service
