Parallel is #OOO July 1-7th for our #SummerBreak. We’re taking a break to recharge and reset. At Parallel, we believe different learners and thinkers can achieve amazing things. But the world of special education can be demanding and challenging. Our mission is to support these unique minds, ensuring they have the tools and opportunities to succeed. This important work requires #energy, #passion, and #dedication. That's why Recharge Week is so essential. It’s a time for our team to log off and unplug completely. With no emails or meetings, the Parallel Team can truly step away from their desks and go offline. We encourage our team to spend quality time with family, dive into that summer reading list, explore nature, and mentally reset. This break ensures that we return revitalized and ready to continue our mission. We’ll be back on July 8th, refreshed and prepared to make a difference in the lives of the students we serve. Here’s to a week of rest and the exciting work ahead! 🇺🇸 🌟Happy 4th of July Week! 🇺🇸 🌟

🌈 🌟A. Jordan Wright, PhD, ABAP, ABPP was recently featured on NewsChannel 9 WSYR highlighting the importance of supporting #LGBTQ+ youth. 🌈 🌟 LBGTQ+ kids face unique challenges that often create more roadblocks than those experienced by their peers. The statistics are stark and telling. LGBTQ+ youth who have even just one accepting adult in their lives are 40% less likely to commit suicide. There is a crucial need for supportive environments and individuals who can make a life-saving difference. Parallel understands that creating these supportive environments involves more than just broad statements of inclusion. It’s about the small, consistent actions, such as —micro-signals—that convey to LGBTQ+ students that they are seen, heard, and supported. These micro-signals, whether it's using inclusive language, visibly supporting LGBTQ+ causes, or simply listening with empathy, communicate to students that there are friendly voices and champions for them within their school communities. Parallel ensures that schools can create an environment where every student, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can succeed and feel valued. We believe that access to acceptance and support can save lives, Parallel is dedicated to making schools a place where every student can succeed, embodying the true spirit of Pride and equality.
