As together we face these challenging times, Counseling In Schools (CIS) continues to provide
emotional and social support to children, families and school staff in need.
COVID-19 continues to have a devastating impact that is being felt disproportionately in the communities of color that we serve.
This is in large part due to generational trauma caused by decades of structural racism, including the brutality of the criminal justice system, inadequate emotional and physical healthcare, and unequal educational opportunity. However, as Counseling In Schools (CIS) and our staff well know, social injustice in communities of color has existed long before the current health crisis.
With students, parents and school staff experiencing even heightened trauma due to the pandemic, the need for CIS has never been greater.
