Let's build a community together!
The Tree of Life Program
5 weeks of Fun and Meaningful Activities!!! Meetings are online.
All 6th - 12th Graders and Guardians/Family Members are welcome!!
When: From April 28 to May 27, 2021
Wednesday or Thursdays from 6-7 p.m.
- Family members are empowered to speak about their lives in ways that make them stronger. It involves people drawing their own ‘tree of life’ in which they get to speak of their ‘roots’ (where they come from), their skills and knowledge, their hopes and dreams, as well as the special people in their lives. The participants then join their trees into a ‘forest of life’ and, in groups, discuss some of the ‘storms’ that affect their lives and ways that they respond to these storms, protect themselves, and each other.
- The Tree of Life enables people to speak about their lives in ways that are not retraumatizing but instead strengthen their relationships with their own history, their culture, and significant people in their lives.
The Education and Counseling Center
Aligned with the service and social justice mission of DePaul University, the Education & Counseling Center seeks to strengthen, sustain, and serve urban communities; therefore, our mission is two-fold. The first is to provide quality and affordable educational and counseling services to adults, children, and adolescents. The second is to prepare socially responsive counselors and educators to utilize evidence-based practices in their respective professions.
