Safer Students, Stronger Schools Celebration

That's a wrap! In January, CIS Dallas concluded its Safer Students, Stronger Schools campaign, supporting three initiatives:

Expanding program services into an additional 70 schools, serving more than 300,000 students,
Building a clinical division, offering one-on-one counseling, psychoeducational groups and mental health referrals to students participating in CIS services,
Providing Youth Mental Health First Aid classes to our school partners and the larger community at no cost; allowing us to lead trainings that educate the public on spotting the signs and symptoms of mental health needs in youth.

My Sweet Charity highlighted our closing event at Crown Block, and our campaign accomplishments in the below article. Thank you to those who financially supported this campaign and made these expanded services possible for our students across North Texas.

Ulta Beauty Leads Three Sessions On Empowerment

Thanks to Ulta Beauty, a group of students from LV Berkner High School in Richardson ISD had the opportunity to attend three sessions on empowerment and leadership. At the third session, the group was treated to a store tour, makeovers, samples, and learned about self-care! It was a day full of enthusiasm and joy as they heard from various employees about career paths.
