School-Based
Therapeutic Programs & Services
JPA provides individual and small-group therapy for children affected by trauma so they can express their emotions in a safe space and find ways to create positive, caring relationships with teachers and peers.
Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, JPA partnered with 18 schools in neighborhoods on the south and west sides of Chicago where violence and poverty are prevalent due to years of disinvestment and neglect.
