EnrichEd is a therapeutic after–school program that serves low-income youth, most of whom have experienced homelessness and have a history of complex trauma. The EnrichEd team strives to provide a safe and inclusive environment that fosters students’ abilities to engage in individual or group tutoring, individual or group counseling, and enrichment clubs. In collaboration with the youth and their support networks, EnrichEd utilizes a strength based, culturally humble, and trauma informed approached to assess the needs of each individual, develop an individualized schedule, and identify client centered goals to increase social emotional skills.
Our students utilize their strengths and support from staff to develop skills related to frustration tolerance, self-regulation, emotion identification, and executive functioning to further their academic, social, and emotional growth. Our kids are encouraged to show up as their authentic self, strive for their dreams, and HAVE FUN!
