As we prepare for the final half of the second semester we are excited about the past two months of training and preparation for the future. Salena Wells attended Day on the Hill with Ascend and Chanel Balque and Judith Bailey attended the Building Family Connections Training with the Medical Institute. Look for new programs coming in April and May for parents and new student programming for the summer and fall.

Great week of training and presenting for our staff. We had one staff Day on the Hill in Washington DC meeting with legislators to increase funding for SRA education. We had two staff at the Medical Institute’s Building Family Connections Training to begin training parents on having the ongoing conversation needed around s*xual health. We presented in Lake Travis HS and Liberty Hill Junior High 7th Grade. We’re reaching 17,000 students in 53 schools in 13 school districts. You can sponsor a classroom for only $150.
