[SSCs-Counselors] Greetings

[sscs-counselors@lists.literacytent.org]

We address the issues through referrals.  Generally we have a discussion with the student about potential barriers, then refer them to org's such as:
Mass Coalition for Refugee Advocacy.
Cambodian Mutual Assisstance in Lowell.
Spanish American Center in Fitchburg.
Career Center of Central Massachusetts -resumes, jobs and training.
Herbert Lipton Center or their insurance carrier 800 number.
Educational Opportunity Council for higher ed/job training referrals. 

Usually we sit and discuss how they will contact the organization, go through scripts and give encouragement.

  Just a note:  Please sign your messages.  The return address doesn't show whom it's from.

  How do you address the issues of shelter, mental health needs, unemployment, and/or immigration problems (such as getting a drivers license) in your work with your students?

    The most common issues I've seen are unemployment and immigration problems (i.e. people who arrive on a student visa and then want to change to a  work visa)
