Did you know that UE Alhambra's Counseling Enriched Classroom (CEC) program is located in Martinez, California, and that we work with high schoolers on a public campus? We are a one classroom, eleven student, and all Seneca staff program. There are amazing happenings at the site. Below are some that my team and I want to highlight.
Meeting clients where they are at: We work collaboratively with our school partners to create a truly individualized treatment that includes (1) aligning their class schedule (between mainstream and CEC) to match their identified strengths and needs, (2) incorporating a clinical focused lens to school based discipline, and (3) providing additional academic resources such as online credit recovery courses to help bridge gaps in school credits. Most importantly, the program is based on offering a supportive atmosphere environmentally (see pictures) as well as therapeutically (see pictures) that invites each student to be themselves and get the support they need.

Development of real-world skills: We work to support the young folks to create resumes, apply to colleges and jobs, and navigate commitments that help to prepare them for life after high school. Currently, over 30% of the students are holding a part-time job and actively maintaining a work/school life balance.
