SEI has always recognized that at-risk youth most often come from at-risk families. The positive work that we do with young people during the day and after-school can easily be unraveled by an unhealthy situation in the home.

For this reason, SEI’s program includes outreach services to families which include counseling, case management, parenting classes, or referrals to outside resources. In many cases, SEI’s parent coordinators have coordinated with family service staff to help a parent find housing, employment, and counseling in order to provide a safe environment for their children.

SEI is proud to offer these wrap-around services which have led to many success stories.

In the Broader Community
SEI provides culturally competent support services through the Family Enhancement Program, the Domestic and Sexual Violence Program, the Communities of Color Multi-Disciplinary Team, and SUN (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods) Services programs, plus assistance with basic needs such as housing, health care, and energy assistance through SEI Community Services.
