The specific WIA program elements that La Familia will offer have been <br />summarized in Figure 2 below. <br /> <br />Fi ure 2: WIA Pro ram Elements that La Familia Will Offer <br /> <br />. Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling - All participanls will complete an intensive assessment of <br />psychological and social functioning. Based upon this assessment, each youth will be provided general <br />counseling, life work counseling, occupational counseling, and, as required, mental health and/or <br />substance abuse counseling. <br /> <br />. Adult Mentoring - The risks that characterize the participants in this program will be many. Some of the <br />target group will already be parents. Others may engage in at-risk sexual behaviors while still others may <br />be members of gangs. One strategy that simultaneously reduces risk in multiple areas is mentoring. <br />However, CHCADA will apply a unique small group mentoring model that consists of one adult male and <br />one adult female and four out-of-school youth. This extended family model is highly effective with <br /> <br />CHCADA's Response to RFP# PY2002 <br /> <br />Page 8 <br />
