The collective programs found in Student Advocacy and Youth Outreach exist to provide assistance with student safety and physical/emotional well-being, which are believed to be the strongest complement to core academic skills. We provide services in the areas of homeless education, child abuse, drug intervention, LGBTQ, school social work, school psychologists, as well as provide schools with support during times of crisis.
COMING SOON: STUDENT ADVOCACY AND YOUTH OUTREACH WILL BE REBRANDED AS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
