Are you familiar with the terms WISe and FIT? Wraparound with Intensive Services, or WISe, is an approach to helping children, youth, and their families with intensive mental health care. It is available to youth age 20 or younger with complex behavioral health needs who are eligible for coverage under WAC 182-505-0210 and meet medical necessity criteria for WISe services. See hca.wa.gov/ Family initiated treatment (FIT) is a way for you, your family, and/or your youth to seek out behavioral health treatment. Under FIT parents are able to provide consent on behalf of youth. Consent from the youth is not required. The youth would have to meet medical necessity before treatment can be initiated. 18

Family Health Beat Featuring

Dr. Niran Al-Agba

As a pediatrician, I talk to parents every day about how to keep children healthy, happy and safe. Although, it’s really by raising four children where I learn the most valuable parenting lessons. Recently, one of my children was talking about an incident at school where a group of children were making fun of another child who couldn’t defend himself. My son asked where to draw the line on bullying. We talked about the three main characteristics constituting bullying are: intent, repetition, and power. Bullies intend to inflict pain, whether physical or psychological. Bullying is usually a pattern of behavior. Bullying comes from a perceived position of power, whether children are bigger, stronger, or more popular. How do we talk to your children about bullying? 1. Educate. Once our children can identify bullying, they can change it.

CR Meetings are for everyone who has hurts, hang-ups and habits!

MONDAY- 6pm free dinner, 6:30 mtg Poulsbo Gateway Fellowship (in back)

MONDAY -5:30pm free dinner, 6:30 mtg Port Orchard Christian Life Center TUESDAY - 6:30pm Bremerton Kitsap Lake Baptist Church WEDNESDAY- 6:30pm Gig Harbor Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church THURSDAY- 6:00pm Kingston Kingston Christian Church FRIDAY - 7:00pm Bremerton Abundant Life Foursquare Church FRIDAY - 6:30pm Shelton Gateway Fellowship SATURDAY - 7:00pm Bremerton Sylvan Way Baptist Church SUNDAY - 6:30pm Quilcene Quilcene Assembly of God

CR Meetings are for ADULTS - but many locations offer childcare & teen programs.

2. Talk. The more you talk with your children, the more comfortable they are talking with you. 3. Build Self-Confidence. Encourage children to enroll in sports or community activities. The more confident a child is, the more they can lift up others. 4. Teach. Bullying involves a perpetrator, victim and bystander. If your child witnesses bullying, they can call out the behavior and offer support, to the victim. 5. Mentor. Model behavior you want to see in your child. Show children how to be inclusive, respectful, and kind. Speak up about injustice or share stories with your children about standing up for others.
