Student Support Systems
Blessed Trinity students have access to many in-school as well as outside community
agencies which provide support during difficult times.

students with social/emotional support during difficult

facilitates such programs as: Bereavement Support

about specific health issues or other medical concerns can make an appointment in the
main office. All information discussed is strictly confidential.
