“Project CARE is a group of social workers, school leaders and teachers who are a part of the Student Support Services Department at EAPrep. The goal of Project CARE is to provide support for students, staff, families and the East Austin community so that we can empower our students to be their best selves and be successful in school and in life. Our work includes community collaboration and the integration of a healing-centered education model that focuses on SEL, restorative practices, racial equity and trauma-informed care to create a culture of safety, connection and belonging for all students.”
