Students Resources

Social Services

Our Care Team is composed of various community partners and social workers who provide individual, group therapy, and other support services. This team of professionals are a key component of the school organization.

They work with students and families to address not only academics, but also to address the social and emotional capacity of students to ensure their academic progress, emotional wellbeing, and success.

School social workers are student advocates who support students by providing induvial and group counseling services, crisis assessment, intervention services, and address barriers to learning. They connect students and families with school and community resources and help them understand school policies, services, and programs.

Specialized support is available for many students who are: pregnant and/or parenting, hospitalized for mental health reasons and are transitioning back to school, in temporary living situations, and/or dealing with issues related to substance use.

If you are experience social and/or emotional difficulties that are interfering with your academic success and wellbeing at school, you can self-refer by talking to your mentor who will submit a Care Team Referral. You may also refer a friend who might need in support.

The Lolita Lebrón Family Learning Center (FLC) was created by the Juan Antonio Corretjer Puerto Rican Cultural Center to address the issues of single mothers who lacked a high school diploma because they dropped out of school to raise a family. The transformation of the FLC, as it exists today, is a program that supports young, teenage parents in their endeavors as high school students and motivations in parenting. Currently, the FLC provides parenting support groups, curriculum in the Social History of Parenting, and a continuum of childcare services for students of the Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School (PACHS).

A core value of the programming and curriculum is to remain attentive to the cultural dynamics of the parenting student population. In accordance with Title IX, PACHS and the FLC is committed to establishing policies expressing a commitment to the equal treatment of all students, regardless of their pregnancy or parenting status. Assist pregnant and parenting students who have excused absences by providing them with make-up assignments and exams. Designate a private room for young mothers to breastfeed, pump milk, or address other needs related to breastfeeding during the school day. Be mindful of issues facing male students who are parenting and opportunities to reach out to them. Provide excused absences for parenting students (both male and female) who need to take their children to doctors’ appointments or to take care of sick children. Work with pregnant and parenting students individually and come up with a graduation plan tailored to each student’s needs. This plan may include an academic credit-recovery component for pregnant and parenting students who have fallen behind. Advise pregnant and parenting students of the availability of programs and services to help them stay in school and maintain educational progress. Set up support groups to help pregnant and parenting students stay in school. Provide parents with information regarding the availability of programs and services that help all students stay in school and maintain their educational progress regardless of pregnancy or parenthood.
