Addressing teen suicide

This project has made important progress on an extremely pressing issue. The students not only told the stories of youth suicide in our state, but also helped uncover possible solutions to benefit our communities.

Essential vision screening

[Health Innovations]_[AZ Children]_v1
80% of the topics children are expected to learn require good vision, yet Arizona recommends–but does not mandate–vision screening in schools. Thanks to ACF of Yuma, the United Way is able to fill that gap and have every child in the county screened for potential vision disorders.
