In this engaging podcast episode, host Kyle Gillette speaks with Executive Director Melinda Herrera and Director of Communications and Development Maddy Halverson from Communities in Schools (CIS). They delve into how CIS operates nationwide, with over 300 affiliates in 28 states. CIS offers integrated student support services, from whole-school initiatives to small-group and one-on-one interventions. The episode highlights the lingering effects of COVID-19 on students, including heightened mental health challenges and missed formative milestones in their education and development. Melinda and Maddy share personal anecdotes and success stories from local CIS initiatives, such as fun family engagement events and creative school activities that foster better relationships with students. They emphasize the importance of being a trusted adult in a child’s life and how community partnerships are vital for bolstering school culture and driving positive outcomes. The conversation concludes with CIS’s ambitious plans to double its reach from 15 to 30 schools in the coming years, supported by expanded volunteer programs and community-based events. 5 Key Discussion Points COVID-19’s Lasting Impact The pandemic not only disrupted students’ academic progress but also took a toll on their social skills and emotional well-being, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and isolation. Integrated Student Support Model CIS employs a three-tiered service approach (whole-school, small group, and one-on-one) to holistically address school communities' academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. Importance of Community Engagement Fun events like movie nights and glow dances draw families to school activities, bolstering trust and support among students and allowing local community members to get involved. Trusted Adults in Schools Having a caring, consistent adult available can significantly improve a student’s sense of belonging and motivation to stay in school, reinforcing the power of mentorship and relationship-building. Expansion Goals and Volunteer Opportunities CIS aims to expand from serving 15 schools to 30 in five years. To support and further its mission, it emphasizes volunteer programs, board memberships, and creative fundraisers—like a trivia night.

In this episode of Hey, Bellingham , host Kyle Gillette interviews Dr. Caroline Hernandez, co-owner of Natural Way Chiropractic in Ferndale. Dr. Hernandez shares her journey from military service to becoming a chiropractor, emphasizing chiropractic care's holistic, inside-out approach. She discusses the importance of spine alignment and the body’s healing ability. She offers insights into how chiropractic treatment can prevent injuries, improve overall health, and even help with conditions like infertility. Dr. Hernandez also touches on her life in Whatcom County, sharing her love for the local community and lifestyle. Three Key Insights: Holistic Healing from the Inside Out : Dr. Hernandez explains how chiropractic care focuses on the body's innate ability to heal by ensuring proper communication between the brain and body through the nervous system. This process helps correct subluxations and allows the body to function optimally. Chiropractic Care as Preventative Medicine : Many people only seek chiropractic care when in pain, but Dr. Hernandez advocates for regular adjustments to prevent injuries and maintain overall health. She compares it to brushing your teeth—you don’t wait for cavities to start brushing; similarly, you shouldn’t wait for pain to visit a chiropractor. Chiropractic’s Broad Impact : Chiropractic care can influence many areas of health beyond back pain. Dr. Hernandez shares stories of patients who have experienced improvements in fertility, reduced migraines, and even better emotional regulation in children after receiving chiropractic treatment. Quote from Dr. Hernandez: "Everyone's body has an innate ability. It's the ability of the brain to communicate down into the body through the nervous system, through every single nerve. And when we have subluxations, it causes the brain and the body not to communicate properly. So, chiropractic care helps remove that interference and allows the body to heal itself."
