Your compassion and care brought hope to many students and educators in 2020, and helped us find new ways to connect with entire school communities. Some bright spots this year include:

Teachers and principals had overwhelmingly positive experiences in Resilience Groups. They reported feeling less isolated, and found the groups to be a safe place to process their emotions, share challenges and gain strategies for supporting themselves and students.
91% of teachers reported that Project Resilience, our social emotional learning lessons, helped increase their awareness of students' social and emotional needs.
95% of Collaborative Counseling Program students we served are currently still enrolled in high school, graduated in June, or began college.
100% of youth working with an Acknowledge Alliance Counselor reported that their counselor was someone they could trust to listen to them without judgment.

Soon after the stay-at-home order was imposed in the spring, our staff created a care package, complete with mindfulness tips and uplifting messages, that continues to be a widely used resource.

The resilience we built together as a community will help us emerge stronger and make the New Year shine brighter.

We'd like to especially thank everyone who made a gift and reached out to us with encouraging messages, too! As a reminder, there is still time to donate before the year ends.

Thank you for supporting Acknowledge Alliance. We wish you good health and happiness, always.
