Description

C.A.R.E Rooms are school-based services provided by BSCO in partner schools within the Bronzeville area. When they establish a partnership with a school, they create a dedicated space within the school and assign 1 to 2 CARE room advocates. These advocates are mental health workers trained in trauma-informed intervention. They have the capacity to provide support to anyone within the school community, including students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Advocates offer individual or group sessions.
