Our Multi-layered Support System
Our students face many complications that can stand in the way of successfully completing the program. To combat this, we provide a multi-layered support system so that students have a consistent, healthy environment in which to thrive.

Case Management
Case Managers are central figures in the students' lives, and are responsible for coordinating important support services. At the onset of the program, students meet with their case managers to develop a comprehensive personal assessment of the following:

Personal Goals
Mental and Physical Health
Substance Abuse History
Sexual Health Practices
Family Situation
Relationships
Educational Background
Employment History
Financial Issues
Legal Issues

Mentors
Along with a case manager, each student is assigned a staff mentor who serves as an additional source of support. Mentor/mentee relationships are formed based on the academic and social needs of each individual student. Mentors may call students when they are absent from school, track academic progress, and be a source of personal encouragement.

Men’s and Women’s Groups
Students attend weekly gender-based group sessions facilitated by case managers. These sessions are engineered so that students can discuss and examine issues that they may come across in every day life. Through this class, students display and acknowledge their unique strengths and talents. Topics include:
