Holistic and Human-centered Approach: LST knows that Learners are the experts in their experiences and their lives. LST takes a holistic view of each Learner to understand their unique challenges and needs. LSMs are licensed social workers, which means their licensure supports their expertise as mental health clinicians who can provide mental health counseling. Financial Coaches are experts in their field, bringing evidence-based strategies and knowledge to support each Learner and build financial capability.
Learner-Led Support: Learners must be proactive and own their personal and financial wellness journey. They contact LST to discuss support needs and set up 1:1 meetings.
Crisis Mitigation: LST provides immediate support and intervention strategies to address crises or urgent situations that may impact a Learner's well-being.
Solution-Focused Approach: LST identifies solutions and actionable steps to help Learners overcome barriers and achieve their goals effectively.
Strengths-Based Strategies: LST builds on each Learner's strengths and capabilities, encouraging resilience and positive growth throughout their Per Scholas and career journey.
Collaboration and Referrals: They collaborate with Learners to connect them with external supports and community resources that enhance their overall well-being, such as healthcare services, childcare support, and financial assistance.
