The 2020-2021 Every Child Has Access resource guide (ECHA) debuted on August 10 at the Partners in Education Conference!  Created in 2016 at the request of three Longview superintendents, the magazine offers informational resources for issues families and children commonly face.  The Longview Chamber of Commerce has updated ECHA annually to ensure the information is accurate and includes as many organizations as possible.

 There are over 60 organizations serving the East Texas area (primarily, but not limited to Longview) included in this year's ECHA. From recreation to mental health services, from therapies to clothing and food donations - the solutions ECHA can provide families run the gamut.  It is not meant solely for people who are struggling.  Those seeking a certain service for their child, but they don't know which organizations to contact can also benefit greatly from the Community Resources chart.

According to stopbullying.gov, when adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can stop bullying behavior over time.

Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategy.  Click on the link on the left to learn more.
