Help Tamarion "Go Beyond" to Succeed in School and Achieve in Life
Like never before, Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region (CISDR) students have had to "go beyond" financial hardship and emotional trauma to reach graduation. As a survivor of abuse and instability, Tamarion’s life has not been easy, but with support from a caring adult, he’s on a path to achieving his dream of becoming a doctor. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, thousands of students like Tamarion can overcome personal challenges and educational barriers to succeed in school and achieve in life!
CISDR Students Give Back to Their Community
When two 7th graders at Wilson Middle School in Plano came to the CISDR office looking to help the homeless, Site Coordinator Emily Yount organized a Basic Needs Drive. After serving more than 20 Wilson families, Emily and her kids donated the rest to our community partners at City House. The students were excited to get involved, and even made signs for the occasion. Thank you to everyone at Wilson for your generosity!
Mental Health First Aid Training is Back
CISDR is once again offering in-person Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. Designed for teachers, school staff, and other members of the community, Youth MHFA features a 5-step plan to support a child in crisis.
