Witnessing violence is the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) most likely to cause severe attendance disruptions. Sadly, our day-to-day work with students and families reflects this reality.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we stand with families navigating violence at home.

We are dedicated to connecting them with critical resources, preserving the stability that school attendance provides, and ensuring their futures are not defined by the trauma inflicted upon them.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline or call 1-800-799-SAFE.

RAINN.org also provides free, confidential support services and information for survivors of sexual violence.

We kicked off the school year by sitting down with the social work teams at Fulton County Schools and Atlanta Public Schools to align our efforts. While school social workers build daily connections, our team serves as an added safety net — stepping in early to provide critical resources for kids with attendance challenges.

By working side-by-side from day one, we're ensuring families get the right support at the right time. We’re grateful for these incredible teams and look forward to another powerful year of partnership and advocacy! 👏📚

How does one go from producing TV in New York City to helping struggling youth in Atlanta? For Sarah Serluco, it started with witnessing untold pain.

While filming an award-winning documentary, Sarah spent years watching childhood abuse survivors pour their hearts out — finally having the opportunity to be heard.

She realized she didn’t just want to tell stories of trauma. She wanted to heal it. She left the entertainment business and moved to Atlanta, earning her Master’s in social work.

As a former intern and Behavioral Services Manager at TIP, she saw firsthand that chronic absenteeism is often about heavy burdens at home. Sarah went on to establish her own practice, SIS Counseling.

Today, our story comes full circle. We’re thrilled to partner with Sis Counseling to bring compassionate mental health care to those who need it most.

We are so fortunate to have partners like Sarah, for whom advocacy is a true calling. Together, we’ll make sure no child has to carry heavy burdens alone.

School is already in session across Georgia — but for too many students, the barriers to showing up consistently are just beginning.

Right now, students are facing challenges like lack of transportation, clothing, stable housing, and other basic support that can keep them out of the classroom.

It’s not too late to make a difference.

A gift to TIP today helps remove those barriers so more students can get to school, stay engaged, and keep moving forward this year.

Please give now to help a student stay on track. 🎒
