New Teen Workshop July 28: Helping Teens Find their Passion!

North Texas Kids is super excited to announce a new workshop for teens and young adults. As a mom of a teen myself and a former high school teacher, I believe there is a huge need for a program like this. I wish someone had helped me find my passion and purpose in my teen years instead of searching until my 40s. Don’t you?

Succeed on Purpose™ has teamed up with Generation And to develop a revolutionary approach to equip high school and college-age students with the tools necessary to live a life full of passion and purpose.

We asked Generation And co-founder Shree Moffett to tell us a little about this program and why she is so passionate about helping today’s youth.

Kim and I are all about collecting experiences over stuff. The challenge with experiences is that they are fleeting. Which is why we normally try to make them tangible in some way, in order to relive them again and again.

Some common methods for “tangibilizing” memories are taking photos, shooting video, scrapbooking, and journaling. These are each excellent in their own way, but they also have downsides. With photos and video, you can easily spend more time looking through a camera’s viewfinder than actually enjoying the experience firsthand. And others require a lot of post-event work that doesn’t always get done, as is the case with video editing, scrapbooking and journaling.

Children’s Medical Center adds new Locations to serve more local children

New MyChildren’s offices to give more patients critical access to a “medical home”

 

MyChildren’s, a network of pediatric primary care offices affiliated with nationally renowned Children’s Medical Center Dallas (www.childrens.com), is expanding by opening three new practices this summer in areas where there is a high demand for healthcare. Clinics are located in neighborhoods where few options exist for families who depend on Medicaid and the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program. The clinics provide a critical “medical home” for thousands of children, leading to better, earlier care.
