As kids head back to school, it’s a great time for parents to check in with their children and see how they’re doing, not just academically, but emotionally and mentally, too.

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has some great tips and tools to help parents start meaningful conversations with their kids. Below is “10 Questions on a Tuesday” to help get you started.

A simple question can open the door to an important conversation. Take a few minutes to check in, listen, and let your child know you’re there for them.

For more information and resources, visit NAMI.org.

This past Saturday, our Family Advocates had the pleasure of attending the Johnson County Apples Coalition Back to School Giveaway to help support local students and families as they prepare for the new school year.

It was wonderful meeting so many families and sharing information about the services we provide at the Children's Advocacy Center of Johnson County. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to visit with us. We truly enjoyed connecting with you!

This is great information to have from Cleburne Police Department for your back to school photos!

How much info are you sharing? Are you spilling the beans or keeping them tight? Let’s find out.

Does your first-day-of-school sign include the following?

🎒 Name and age
🏫 School, grade, and teacher
⚽ Favorite activities
🍕 Favorite foods and interests

When shared online, those details can give an unknown person a lot more information about your child than you might think.

Take the photo. Save the memory. Keep the personal information off social media.

A heartfelt thank you to the Johnson County Association of Realtors for once again partnering with the Children's Advocacy Center to help our children start the new school year with confidence.

Each year, their generosity provides backpacks and new shoes for children in our services, giving them the opportunity to walk into the classroom feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn. These thoughtful gifts are so much more than school supplies, they remind our children that their community cares about them and believes in their future.

Thank you, Johnson County Association of Realtors, for your continued compassion and support. Your kindness is making a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families we serve.

Have you ever wondered how a case flows through the Children's Advocacy Center?

The graphic below illustrates the Children's Advocacy Center model and the journey of a child abuse case—from the initial report of abuse through the investigation, advocacy, treatment, and ultimately the conclusion of the case.

Every step is designed to reduce trauma for children and families while bringing together the professionals who work collaboratively to provide justice, hope, and healing.

A huge thank you to Diamond Wishes Children's Charity for their generous donation of giant cushions to the Center!

These cozy cushions will provide a comfortable space for the children we serve to relax during their therapy sessions, helping create a warm and welcoming environment as they begin their journey toward healing.

We are so grateful for your kindness and support. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the children and families we serve!
