Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE CONCILIO BEGAN AS DALLAS CONCILIO OF HISPANIC SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND IN 2010 CHANGED ITS NAME TO THE CONCILIO. FOUNDED IN 1981 TO FILL THE ROLE OF COLLABORATIVE PARTNER IN RESPONSE TO THE NEEDS OF AN EMERGING HISPANIC POPULATION, THE CONCILIO EDUCATED NONPROFITS AND OTHER AGENCIES ON EFFECTIVELY REACHING THIS GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC. FOR 35 YEARS, THE CONCILIO HAS SPECIALIZED IN OUTREACH TO THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH OTHER EFFECTIVE, EXISTING LOCAL AGENCIES. TODAY THE CONCILIO PROVIDES DIRECT SERVICES THAT FULFILL ITS MISSION "TO BUILD STRONGER COMMUNITIES BY EMPOWERING PARENTS TO IMPROVE THE EDUCATION AND HEALTH OF THEIR FAMILIES."
The Concilios Parents Advocating for Student Excellence (PASE) Program teaches parents how to positively impact their child's education by being actively engaged - They are taught how to navigate the school system, identify academic challenges, and how to provide a supportive home-learning environment. During 2019, The Concilio served 3,063 individuals through this program.
THE CONCILIO'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT INCLUDES A HOLISTIC FAMILY NUTRITION AND WELLNESS PROGRAM WITH THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF GENERATING LASTING POSITIVE HEALTH BEHAVIORS IN THE LIVES OF PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN TO REDUCE RISK FACTORS FOR NUTRITION-RELATED CHRONIC DISEASE AND TO POSTPONE THE ONSET OF DISEASE BY ENCOURAGING PARTICIPANTS TO ESTABLISH HEALTHY HABITS EARLY ON. TO MEET THIS GOAL, WE TEACH PARENTS HOW TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN BE MORE ACTIVE AND DEVELOP HEALTHY HABITS FOR LIFE. MOREOVER, CHILDREN LEARN AT AN EARLY AGE HOW TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS FOR THEIR OWN HEALTH. WE ALSO PROVIDE OUR FAMILIES WITH LINKAGE TO HEALTHCARE: PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE ONE-ON-ONE ASSISTANCE WITH ENROLLING INTO CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE (CHIP), MEDICAID AND SNAP (SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM). ADDITIONALLY, WE CAN ASSIST THEM WITH NAVIGATING THE HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE AND ENROLLING INTO QUALIFIED HEALTH PLANS. DURING 2019, THE CONCILIO SERVED 455 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.
The Concilios Parents as Leaders (PAL) program's purpose is to set the stage for academic success by providing parents with children ages 0 - 5 with the information, resources and training needed to foster children's early literacy and reading abilities and by helping these parents to become effective partners with the school and the community throughout their children's academic careers. PAL can help to mitigate the barriers that our families often find are insurmountable on their own.
