Life Advisement Sessions
Individual Life Advisement Sessions are provided year around by appointment only. These highly confidential sessions are specifically tailored to fit the needs of the client. These individual sessions are the foundation of our services, where we provide the tools for each person to be empowered, successful, and productive individuals.
Group Life Advisement Sessions are convened when multiple clients are referred or request the same services such as: Anger Management; Financial Management; Parenting Skills; Finance Management; Tutoring and Study Skills; and other Life Management Skills.
Teen Hall Meetings
Teen Hall Meetings (THM) are forums used to equip our clients with the tools needed to become peer leaders. The teens are placed through a rigorous program that teaches them to self-assess, identify, and address problems in their life which hampers personal growth. After learning these skills; the young adults under the direction and close supervision of Life Advisors, and the Program Director, become peer life advisors, and apply it to hosting their own THM. This process has had a proven success rate mainly because the peer-to-peer interaction encourages growth amongst our teens. The practice of listening without judgement, helping another individual: see his/her problem, and critically thinking about potential possibilities helps to further the reach of the program and the ideals of CodyCares.
Career & Higher Education Fair
Career & Higher Education Fair (CHEF) is a forum to help ensure that colleges, universities, financial services, jobs, internships, armed forces, mentors, and community programs get their information directly into the hands of high school graduates. Many high school students are under-informed about their post-high school options, the processes necessary to guide and assist them towards furthering their education (e.g. SAT/ACT testing, university application process, funding options such as grants and scholarships), and the resources available to help them succeed. CHEF 2015 took place at Kings Plaza Shopping Mall, and CHEF 2016 & 2017 took place at Ingersoll Community Center.
Resource Workshops
Resource Workshops are created as a result of the needs of clients and participants. These workshops provide specific information, or refer to workshops that are being held in a particular subject area. For example, CodyCares’ partnering organizations host specific workshops such as, but not limited to: Mental Health Awareness, Job Fairs, High School Fairs, Entrepreneurial Prep, Scholarships, College Quest Awareness, Yoga, Gender specific empowerment courses – Rite of Passage: Male Mentoring, Female Mentoring, Financial awareness, Coding and Computer Skills, and several other workshops that equip participants with the information necessary to succeed.
