Psychoeducational Program
| “FACES is my second family; a place where I turn
to for answers, guidance, motivation, and hope.” – Linh
Thi Dao |
The mission of the Psychoeducational Program is to
motivate our students to look within themselves to discover who they are
and to become their “higher selves”, based upon the philosophy
that a single individual can make a major difference in the world we live
in. It is believed that, as manifested in every successful individual,
changes must begin within the individual before they can manifest in the
environment in which they live. With this perspective in mind, the Psychoeducational
Program focuses not only on the students’ psychosocial issues, but
also on the way the students think, act, live, and especially, what things
they like. Through understanding and knowing each student on a personal
level, he or she can be directed to successfully begin his/her metamorphosis
from a teenager to a responsible and highly motivated adult.
The Psychoeducational Program consists of three vital elements- Counseling,
Education and Leadership Development- and is managed by the program’s
Psychoeducational Coordinator. The Psychosocial Coordinator’s primary
responsibility is to successfully address the personal and psychosocial
issues of each student, regardless of the magnitude and/or severity of
any particular personal situation.
Questions regarding the Psychoeducational Program should be directed to
the Psychoeducational Coordinator, Renè Macias at (510) 428-3214
or Rene@facesforthefuture.org.
