Beginning in 2018-19, as a result of Hurricane Harvey, DISD applied for and was granted a ReBuild Texas Fund Grant in excess of $1 million dollars.   We used these funds to hire a specialist and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) as well as providing an extensive and comprehensive capacity building professional development program for our campus counselors and other staff. 

DISD dedicated to continuing the framework. Our framework is designed to help our Dickinson community gain the ability to holistically address the mental and emotional needs of our students. We help students, parents, teachers and staff in building resiliency skills for dealing with future traumas. We have received ongoing technical assistance from Mental Health America and work in close partnership with Galveston County Family Service Center.
