Melanie Beckford is an Identity Specific School Social Worker with York Region District School Board. She supports students of the African Heritage and Caribbean Diaspora.
Her patient, kind and supportive nature allows her to easily connect with students to get them the support they need.
"I've always felt that the work that we do is really important, that people feel supported and that people know that there's somewhere they can go if they need help," said Beckford.
