We loved equipping you with this valuable information Dallas Afterschool! Myself and Dr. Summer Rose thoroughly enjoyed your energy last week. Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region
Our Partnership Coaches completed their Mental Health First Aid Training last week, hosted by Communities in Schools' Mental Health Department! It was an 8 hour training equipping them on how to identify a crisis versus a non-crisis mental health challenge and the best ways to offer support until a professional can get involved. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1 in 5 U.S. children ages 3–17 has a mental, emotional, behavioral, or developmental disorder, so it is critical to know how we can properly support people if we are the first point of contact. Thank you to all of those who were present and to Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region for creating and facilitating this opportunity!
