Success coaches: The Family Centre

Success Coaches

Success coaches support students to boost their resilience and develop healthy strategies to cope with challenges and overcome barriers to be successful in school and life. Success coaches foster a positive school experience and build confidence and skills for academic success.

With the support of a success coach, children and youth attend school more regularly, are more engaged in learning, avoid high-risk behaviours, learn more life skills to make effective decisions and goals, and see a positive future for themselves.

How will students benefit?

Success coaches develop relationships with children and youth to:

Promote a healthy view of education, and facilitate success in school by exploring future career opportunities
Encourage participation in healthy physical activity
Support transitioning to a new grade or school
Build resiliency skills to cope with challenges
Develop stronger social, academic, and communication skills

Be more equipped to solve problems, deal with anger, and make positive decisions
Increase their community network of supports
Provide opportunities for healthy peer interaction
