Big Impact: Spreading Holiday Cheer and Hope

In this season of gratitude, our thoughts turn gratefully to you with warm appreciation. This past school year alone, through the second year of the global pandemic, we served 29 schools and community organizations, 2,320 students, and 437 educators. Here are some of the outcomes we achieved together:

  • 91% of Collaborative Counseling Program students we served remained in school or had graduated over the year.

  • Youth working with an Acknowledge Alliance counselor experienced improved family and social functioning, more enjoyment of recreational activities, better sleep, deeper community connections, increased optimism, decreased depression and anxiety, and enhanced trauma integration.

  • 94% of educators working with Acknowledge Alliance staff reported using strategies, such as self-care, to promote personal and professional resilience.

  • The most valuable aspect of Project Resilience social emotional learning lessons, according to students and teachers, were the lessons focused on mindfulness. Learning new coping skills helped students choose healthier ways of managing their anger and stress.

We here at Acknowledge Alliance remember that relationships and community connection are at the heart of our mission. Your contribution and encouragement allow us to touch many lives and make a big impact! 

As a reminder, there is still time to make a gift before the year ends.

Your support helps us build resilient school communities where students and educators feel connected, valued, engaged, and hopeful. Thank you. We wish you happiness, health, and peace into the New Year!
