The Family, Academic, & Mental Wellness Program (FAM)
The Family, Academic, & Mental Wellness Program (FAM) is an extension of HCTC’s Hartford Care Response Team (HCRT), which connects families to essential resources for health, mental health, housing, and jobs. FAM is focused on bridging the gaps in urban students’ and families’ access to culturally appropriate and accessible interventions, committed to meeting those needs with its comprehensive in-school, afterschool, and summer programs. Recognizing the importance of preventing interpersonal or community violence, FAM activities bolster access to academic, social-emotional, and basic needs opportunities that empower individuals to thrive.
Intensive Advising
our trained case managers and intervention specialists offer personalized guidance and one-on-one support to students who need emotional, personal injury, and survivor support to ensure their situations are accorded the desired level of care and support.
Comprehensive Services
From academic support to non-academic and victim services, we offer comprehensive and collaborative support by linking families and students to available resources at home, within their communities, and in school settings where possible.
Family Engagement
We advocate for the philosophies of power building between families and educators through family wrap-around service delivery. This involves creating partnerships, relationship building, and shared decision-making that supports families' healing alongside that of their children.
Socio-Emotional Classroom Engagement:
our students benefit from an evidence-based mindfulness curriculum and BREATHE protocol, which nurtures emotional intelligence, leadership skills, confidence, and positive self-image.
Empowerment Coaching
Involves guiding and supporting the setting and realization of incremental goals and expectations that will see the student emerge victoriously.
