Texas Children's Hospital now deploys highly trained clinicians to the two mobile units that provide health care services like immunizations, nutrition, education, and referrals to medical and social services to children.

Dr. Julie Kaplow, the trauma's center director, notes that although it has been more than two years since the storm ravaged the city, there are strong reasons why the psychological wounds are just now been treated.

The two mobile units with specially trained clinicians periodically visit Liberty High School, Wisdom High School, and Benavidez Elementary School - three Houston Independent School District campuses identified as having the greatest need.The collaboration, according to Gwendolyn Johnson, the school district's director of Health and Medical Services, offers the remarkable element of providing care to children where they are.

Therapists at the mobile units are bilingual, and all assessment tools and treatment manuals are available in Spanish."The lexicon used to describe natural disasters does not translate the same to Spanish, so utilizing more culturally-appropriate language is key. Also, it's important to understand that Latino children may have been at-risk due to immigration status or the perceived danger that comes with seeking support if they are undocumented," he said.

After mass shootings, gun advocates in Texas worry about a political shiftGuns are deeply ingrained in the culture of Texas, where learning to shoot is a common rite of passage and even some gun control proponents own firearms. But there are signs that Texas is getting less gun-friendly. 'They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.' Isaiah 2:4 Now, can they turn their guns into hoes? Someone needs to ask that gun-totin' priest and bible thumping AmmoSexuals: 'Did your Lord Jesus carry a sword or a cross? WWJD?' What part of shall not be infringed in the constitution in the Bill of Rights does the mainstream media not understand? What's the low IQ of the gun collectors in mainstream media really at 60? Or lower? Do they really want a civil war? I believe they do they want blood Jesus lord my god bless this nation's guns!!
