Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
"We focus on socio-emotional learning as a key part of our program for students and staff."
Our students are primarily students with disabilities as we support learners with Behavioral Support Services on their IEPs, through counseling, therapy and coaching.
We also support the general education population through group and individual therapy, as well as all students through Tier I and Tier II services which include targeting in classroom social-emotional curriculum and support. We love our students as they are resilient and motivated, represent diverse backgrounds and come to school ready to grow. Additionally, our Dual Language Immersion Early College Campus helps our students succeed despite all odds, as our student mostly come from low-income families, many from where English is not the first language.
My Project
Due to limited resources, related service providers (i.e. clinical social workers, youth engagement coordinators, suspension and expulsion coordinators) and community based organizations that provide therapy and case management to students and families during schools hours, have been unable to receive individual air filters for their offices located inside the schools. For these providers, their offices is where their work is done. It's these school-based offices where students receive therapy, counseling, crisis de-escalation, health resources and other essential wellness services. During the COVID public health crisis, a mental health crisis amongst our youth has emerged and the work of these providers must carry on in the safest ways possible to assist and support.
