A Call to Action: Become a Foster Parent

While many may be aware of the foster care system, few truly understand the state mandated licensing process and vital role of foster parents. Foster parents are an integral part of healing childhood trauma and maintaining a child’s connection with their biological family. Foster care agencies offer a chance to be that change, an opportunity to receive the DCF required trainings and ongoing support once children are placed in your home. Foster care, by its very nature, seeks to provide stability, support and love to children who have faced adversities at no fault of their own. As a potential foster parent, you are uniquely positioned to offer a safe, stable environment to a child, 0-17 years old, who has experienced the traumas of separation from their biological families. Foster care agencies provide ongoing support and oversight to their licensed foster parents.

The decision to become a foster parent should not be taken lightly. It’s a calling that requires selflessness, patience, compassion, and an unwavering commitment from day one of training and extended to the day a child arrives to your home until the day the court determines the child will leave your home. Foster care agencies recognize this endeavor is not without challenges. The children in need of care often have complex trauma which shows itself as emotional and behavioral issues. These behaviors are an expression

In a world that often seems cold and indifferent, there is an opportunity for us to make a difference.

of an unmet need. Foster care agencies have individuals working as part of the professional team that provide added support and oversight to all foster families and the child(ren) in their home. The foster parent training classes are “What to Expect when you’re Expecting a Foster Child”. Foster care agencies provide trainings and home inspections. They can answer any questions or concerns as they arise.

The statistics surrounding the foster care system can be overwhelming. According to the Children’s Bureau, on any given day, there are nearly 440,000 children in foster care in the United States. This boils down to over 1,800 children in Broward County alone. A child protective investigator may decide to remove a child from their caregivers if they have experienced some form of abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Their lives are instantly marked by instability and uncertainty. You have the power to change this narrative.

By becoming a foster parent, you offer a child a sense of comfort, a consistent daily routine, and an opportunity to heal and grow. It is a chance to nurture their resilience in the face of adversity. The impact of a foster parent extends beyond the individual child. Your efforts can lead to a brighter future for the children you welcome into your home. Your decision to become a foster parent can be the turning point in a child’s life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Foster Care

What is foster care?

Foster care is intended to provide temporary care for children and youth who have been removed from their family of origin. Reasons for removal might include abuse, neglect or abandonment. The primary goal of foster care is to reunify the youth with his or her family or a relative.

Is there really a need for foster parents in Broward County?

Yes, there is! Currently, there are over 1,800 children placed in licensed care in Broward County and not enough homes to accommodate all of them. Every one of our children needs a family who is willing to give them a stable, loving and consistent home until they achieve permanency.

What are the requirements to become a foster parent?

A foster parent is a safe, stable adult in the community. A foster parent must be at least 21 years old, pass a background check and complete required trainings. A foster parent must have sufficient income to meet their current expenses and have bedroom space for a foster child. A foster child cannot share a bedroom with an adult. Foster parents do not have to own their own home. A foster parent doesn’t need to have prior parenting experience. A trainer will support anyone interested in registering for the pre-service training classes and completing the required paperwork. A Licensing Specialist will complete the home study process. Above all, foster parents must be individuals who parent with patience and compassion for the past traumas their child(ren) experienced.

Will I meet the child before they are placed

in my home?

No. Due to how quickly a placement is usually needed for a child, meeting the youth will not be possible. However, your licensing agency will provide you with child profile information including past trauma and child-specific needs. A foster parent will decide on accepting a child into their home based on the information provided by the licensing agency. You may express an age and gender preference as part of a matching consideration.

Can the foster child go to the school my children attend?

It is now federal law that all attempts be made for children to remain in their school of origin. Broward County School Board works with the foster care system to route a school bus and make accommodations for each foster child.

How long will a foster child be in my home?

There are many factors to consider and there truly is no way to know how long a child may be placed in your home. A foster parent commits to caring for each child that enters their home until permanency can be achieved for them. Therefore, we encourage you to make any foster child a part of the family. This means including them in family vacations, extracurriculars and other family-friendly activities.

How Artificial Intelligence (AI) can Support Families with Children

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming the way families with children navigate education, healthcare, and social interactions. This powerful technology is being leveraged to create more personalized, efficient, and supportive environments for children across various aspects of their lives. Here are specific examples of how AI is being used to support children.

• Personalized Learning: AI can assist in designing personalized learning programs, adaptive to the unique needs and pace of each child. Machine learning algorithms can continuously learn and adapt to a child’s learning style and progression, providing tailored educational content and exercises.

• Accessible Content: AI videos can make educational content more engaging and accessible. With text-to-speech and speechto-text features, it ensures inclusivity for children with hearing or visual impairments. Animated AI videos can also be used to illustrate complex concepts, making them easier to understand.

• Intervention Tracking: AI tools can be used to monitor and track the progress of interventions. AI can analyze data on students’ performance and engagement, offering insights to better understand progress and make data-driven decisions.

• Communication and Support: AI tools can provide 24/7 support to families, answering questions, providing information about services and rights.

• Teacher Assistance: AI can assist educators in curriculum planning, grading, and providing feedback, reducing administrative tasks and allowing them to focus more on direct instruction and support.

• Training and Professional Development: AI can simulate real-life scenarios and challenges, providing an interactive platform to enhance skills. It can also provide personalized learning paths for professional development.

• Medical Intervention: AI-powered diagnostic tools are improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosing conditions. Additionally, personalized medicine, powered by AI, is enabling more tailored treatment plans for children with chronic conditions. By analyzing vast amounts of genetic data, AI can predict how a child might respond to certain treatments, thus optimizing their healthcare plan for better outcomes. AI is also being used to support doctor training for complicated and difficult surgical procedures.

• Social-Emotional Development: AI is being used to support the social needs of children through the development of social robots and virtual companions. These AI-driven technologies can interact with children, helping to teach social skills, empathy, and emotional recognition.

Artificial Intelligence offers a multitude of options and benefits for supporting families with children. By harnessing the capabilities of AI, we can provide more personalized, engaging, and effective support for the diverse needs of children, helping them to thrive in an increasingly complex world.

The Impact of Respite Care

Raising a child with a developmental disability is a unique journey. In the whirlwind of therapies, appointments, and daily challenges, many parents report neglecting their well-being and feeling physically and emotionally drained. Fortunately, there are numerous resources available in our community so that parents do not have to feel alone.

Respite is one of those supportive services. Respite is understood as a clinical break that gives parents the opportunity to step back, recharge, and engage in self-care practices. The benefits extend far beyond the momentary break, positively impacting both parents and, ultimately, the entire family dynamic.

One of the primary advantages of respite care is the opportunity for parents to prioritize their mental health and well-being. Respite care allows parents to indulge in time for themselves —whether it's enjoying a quiet afternoon, pursuing a hobby, or simply having uninterrupted time for other family members. When parents are wellrested and emotionally replenished, they can better connect with their child, creating a more nurturing and harmonious family dynamic.

The stressors of raising a child with a disability can take a toll on a couples’ relationship. Disputes, communication breakdowns, and emotional distance between partners may develop as they navigate the complex needs of their child. Parents of children with developmental disabilities may face a higher risk of separation or divorce. Utilizing respite care grants partners time to strengthen their relationship by engaging in activities they enjoy together, sharing uninterrupted conversations, and rebuilding their emotional connection.

Taking time for self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity for maintaining a healthy family system. Acknowledging the need for respite care is not a sign of weakness; it's a recognition of the

challenges inherent to the unique journey of raising a child with a developmental disability. Respite care offers parents the guilt-free opportunity to focus on their wellness, fostering resilience that positively impacts their ability to navigate the unique challenges of raising children. When parents invest in their well-being, they return to their caregiving role with renewed energy and a refreshed perspective. This, in turn, contributes to a more positive and supportive family environment, benefiting the child.

The benefits of respite care extend to siblings as well. Nurturing a child with a developmental disability often monopolizes the time and focus of caregivers. Between rushing to various appointments and tending to the daily needs of their child, parents have little time to devote to additional family members. Respite allows parents to dedicate undivided attention to their other children. With the support of respite, the needs and wants of siblings can be prioritized.

Respite care is an important tool in the toolbox of families raising a child with a developmental disability. It is a lifeline that not only offers parents a well-deserved break but also promotes mental and physical well-being. As society continues to recognize the importance of supporting families in their unique journeys, respite care emerges as a beacon of hope, fostering resilience, understanding, and ultimately, a stronger, more engaged family unit.

The JAFCO Children’s Ability C-enter is open 24/7/365 to provide comprehensive services to families raising a child with developmental disabilities. These include on-site day and overnight respite care. Please feel free to reach out to 954-315-7033 for more information.

Unlocking the Door to Healing: The Importance of Seeking Therapeutic Help

In contemporary society, the mention of "therapy" often conjures images of individuals experiencing severe psychosis or mental illness. However, as awareness grows surrounding its countless benefits, therapy is becoming increasingly accessible and relatable to more people, in general, instead of being solely reserved for those in unfortunate circumstances, therapy is now recognized as a valuable tool for managing everyday stressors, improving relationships, and fostering personal growth.

Nevertheless, general misconceptions surrounding therapy persist, acting as barriers that prevent individuals from accessing the support and guidance they might require.

PROBLEMATIC MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THERAPY:

Therapy is frequently misunderstood as solely intended for individuals contending with severe mental illness. Contrary to this belief, therapy encompasses a broad spectrum of concerns, extending from managing everyday stressors to addressing more acute conditions. Another prevailing misconception suggests that therapy predominantly revolves around delving into one's childhood experiences. However, therapy is far more nuanced, incorporating a diverse array of therapeutic techniques and approaches tailored to each person's unique needs and objectives. Additionally, there exists a pervasive myth that seeking therapy is indicative of weakness, insinuating that only those who are incapable of managing their problems independently would opt for therapy. This notion overlooks the inherent courage and resilience required to acknowledge when help is needed and to take proactive steps toward self-improvement and emotional well-being.

BENEFITS OF SEEKING THERAPY:

In the realm of therapy, creating a safe and confidential space is paramount. Here, individuals, couples, families, and groups are encouraged to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences

without fear of judgment. Time and space are intentionally carved out to prioritize mental health, fostering a deeper sense of selfawareness and insight. Within this supportive environment, practical tools and strategies are developed to enhance communication and interpersonal skills, laying the groundwork for healthier relationships. Moreover, therapy equips individuals with coping mechanisms to effectively manage stress, anxiety, and challenging emotions, empowering them to navigate life's ups and downs with resilience and grace. Through this process, personal growth and self-discovery are facilitated as individuals delve into their beliefs, values, and goals, gaining clarity and direction for the future. Ultimately, therapy catalyzes positive change, empowering individuals to break free from unhealthy patterns and overcome past and present struggles with the support and guidance they need to thrive.

TAKING THE FIRST STEP:

Seeking therapy can feel daunting, but it's also an act of courage and self-care. Even the smallest step, like making that first call to a therapy resource, can set you on the path toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. Remember, progress is made one step at a time, and every step you take toward prioritizing your mental health is a step in the right direction. Your mental well-being is worth investing in, and you deserve to live a life that feels whole and balanced.

Great Childhoods – Healthy Minds – Successful Families

Submitted by: United Way of Broward County’s Commission on Behavioral Health & Drug Prevention

Did you know childhood stress can leave changes in the adult brain? Did you know 50% of people will develop at least one mental health condition during their lifetime? And half of these people will develop a mental health condition by age 14? Can you imagine the amount of suffering that can be avoided if these 14-year-olds had mental health checkups done by their pediatricians? Research shows preventing and intervening early for young people with mental health conditions dramatically improves immediate and long-term outcomes.

Many young people in our community complain their parents don’t take their mental health concerns seriously. Stigma, lack of knowledge and poor access to services are some of the possible reasons. And the consequences result in pain, suffering, progression of mental health disorders, hospitalizations, incarcerations, school dropouts, unemployment, premature death, social isolation, poor functioning, loss of productivity, and more.

Once young people reach adulthood, there is not much parents can do as parents can’t force them to get medical attention after they turn age 18. It’s truly a painful cycle, and that’s why it’s so important to start conversations early, pay attention to children’s emotions and feelings, and take action. It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to reach out. There is help out there.

Parents are the #1 influence in the lives of their children

We all deal with things differently. For some people, it’s easy to slow down and concentrate on being present in the moment. “How do I feel now? Why am I feeling so angry? What can I do to feel better? How are my kids feeling?” The truth is life is short, and we must make the best of the time we have. It’s ok to ask for help — not only for us, but for our children. Let’s make great childhoods happen now!

Tips for Parents

When we are busy, we tend to become numb to our own true needs and the needs of those around us. Now more than ever, it’s important to focus on what we can control.

Here are a few suggestions:

Plan your day ahead of time. Develop a daily family routine. Wake up and go to sleep every day at the same time. Shower and get dressed. Exercise. Take some time for prayer, meditation, gardening, journaling, etc.

Make healthy choices. The space between the things that happen and your response is where your power lies. Choose being positive, see the good, have faith in yourself and others, and ask for support.

Prevention is protection. Spend time with your children. Know the facts about alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, or other substances, especially because these chemicals can have consequences on the developing brain. The human brain develops until the age of 25. Listening to children, and having meaningful conversations without judging them, reduces alcohol and other substance use and delays the age of first use. Prevention works — the goal is to stop addiction before it starts.

Let’s embrace our feelings. It’s natural to sometimes feel anxious and scared. Take a break from the news and engage in fun and relaxing family activities. Let’s remember “it takes a village to raise a child.” We all can play a role in making sure great childhoods start happening now for all children in Broward County. Let’s break the stigma by sharing the fact that mental health is just as essential as physical health. Normalizing the conversation about mental health empowers people to talk and get the help they need. Also let’s be aware that stress hormones are released during demanding situations, and the frequent presence of these stress hormones can lead to physical conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease; mental health conditions like depression and anxiety; and overall poor health outcomes. Racism, financial problems, and high expectations are also stressors affecting our health. Let’s be kind with ourselves and others. Let’s talk in a way that reflects scientific evidence and demonstrates respect. Let’s end bullying, discrimination, pain and suffering. Let’s bring hope to our communities, to our families, and to our lives.

Defend Against Cyberbullies & Online Dangers: 3 Essential Tips for Parents & Teens

In the expansive realm of social media, technology has become a double-edged sword. While it has the power to raise awareness, foster support for social causes, and create global online communities, it also harbors darker aspects, such as cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and online threats that can escalate to offline, affecting real-life interactions.

I know this firsthand, having endured a cyber harassment nightmare that propelled me to action. From this experience emerged Operation: STOP Cyber Harassment. My transformation from victim to advocate yielded invaluable insights, which I’m eager to share to aid parents and teens in navigating the digital landscape.

My Story: Transforming Adversity into Advocacy

In 2020, I was shocked to discover that my Facebook profile picture had been maliciously reposted on a lewd Instagram account. What’s more, numerous individuals on my college campus faced similar targeting by the same perpetrator. Despite relentless efforts to block and report him across various social media platforms, he persisted, evading consequences with each new profile.

Determined to break the cycle of harassment, I mobilized over 30 victims to speak out, initiating police reports nationwide and advocating for policy changes within our college administration.

Recognizing the escalating prevalence of cyberbullying amid the pandemic-induced surge in online activity, I founded Operation: STOP Cyber Harassment. Our inaugural event in April 2021 united law enforcement, educators, mental health advocates, and community leaders, drawing over 240 registrants and solidifying #OperationSTOP as a symbol of hope for those ensnared by cyber harassment.

Warning Signs of Bullying: Early Recognition is Key

Don’t Ignore the Signs: Cyberbullying often starts subtly, making early detection crucial. Our programs provide attendees with a safe space to validate their experiences and empower them to take decisive action.

Tips for Students

Document Incidents: Capture evidence by taking screenshots before blocking or reporting suspicious accounts. Documentation is vital for effective reporting and resolution.

Speak Up: In the face of cyberbullying or online threats, confide in a trusted adult promptly. Avoid sharing with peers initially and seek guidance from supportive figures.

Know Your Reporting Options: Familiarize yourself with anonymous reporting channels at your school or online platforms to discreetly address issues.

Tips for Parents: Protecting Your Child’s Digital Space

Secure Passwords: Encourage your child to use strong, unique passwords and update them regularly to fortify account security against common breaches.

Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Add an extra layer of protection by enabling 2FA wherever possible, enhancing security and deterring unauthorized access attempts.

Educate and Engage: Foster open dialogues with your child about online safety, emphasizing the importance of verifying friend requests and recognizing phishing attempts.

By equipping families with these essential tools, we can combat cyber harassment and foster a safer digital environment for all. Let’s break the silence and empower our communities to confront digital threats head-on.

Most Injuries are Preventable – Learn How to Keep Your Family Safe

Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for children 1-9 years of age and the 5th leading cause in children under one. Unintentional injury results in over 3,000 deaths per year in children under 10 and more than 2 million emergency room visits for nonfatal injury. However, most of these injuries are preventable! Here are a few ways to keep your family safe:

Child Passenger Safety: Child restraints decrease risk of death from a motor vehicle crash. Parents and caregivers can reduce injury by choosing the right car seat for their child, using, and installing a car seat properly, keeping infants and toddlers rear facing until they reach the maximum height and weight of the car seat, and teaching kids to buckle up every time they ride in a car. Check Safe Kids Broward for a list of car seat inspection sites (https://www.safekids.org/coalition/safe-kids-broward-county).

Distracted Driving: Distracted driving involves any activity that takes your attention away from the road. Never text or talk on your cell phone while driving, manage your time so you are not in a hurry, concentrate on what you are doing, and slow down. Parents and caregivers should set a good example, create family safety rules when you are not there to supervise, and encourage your teens to speak up when any driver is driving unsafely.

Wheeled Safety: Helmets save lives and reduce the risk of injury to your head after a bicycle, scooter, or skateboard crash. It is important the helmet fit properly. Helmets should be snug all around, sit low and level, and be comfortable – make sure side straps form a “V” right below the ear and the chin strap is snug when you open your mouth wide. Teach children to check equipment, follow the rules of the road, and wear bright/reflective clothing when they ride. Remember to be a good role model and wear your helmet every time you ride too!

Pedestrian Safety: Young children are at a greater risk of injury from traffic hazards. Children should be actively supervised around traffic and always cross the street with an adult. Teach children to look left, right, and left again, make eye contact with drivers, and keep heads up and devices down when crossing the street. Children should only cross at a crosswalk and wear bright/reflective clothing when possible.

Safe Sleep: Until at least age one, babies are at risk of suffocation when they sleep. Here are few steps to keep your baby safe while they sleep and nap – place baby on their back for all sleep times, use a firm mattress and fitted sheet, remove all blankets, toys, pillows, and bumper pads, dress baby in a wearable blanket or onesie, and share your room not your bed.

KEEPING KIDS SAFE FROM GUNS

gun safety advocate and Co-Chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Committee of the League of Women Voters of Broward. Her Lock it Up! gun safety program has distributed 30,000 free gun locks in Broward County.

Guns are now the leading cause of death for American children and teens-exceeding car accidents, illness, poisoning, and drowning for the second consecutive year. On average, twenty-two children and teens are shot every day and 5.4 million children live in homes with unlocked guns. It's a heartbreaking statistic and the steady stream of news stories involving children and guns can feel overwhelming. While it's easy to feel helpless about the current situation, there are actions you can take to protect your children from gun injuries and death:

PRACTICE SAFE STORAGE-- According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, safe storage practices, including keeping firearms stored unloaded, in a locked place, separate from ammunition, and/or secured with an extrinsic safety device, were shown to be protective for unintentional firearm shootings and suicide attempts among adolescents and children.

The four specific practices of keeping a gun locked, unloaded, and storing ammunition locked and in a separate location were each associated with a protective effect to reduce these types of injuries in homes with children and adolescents.

The truth is that a home with an unlocked gun is twice as likely to experience a homicide, three times more likely to experience a suicide, and five times more likely to experience a fatality in a domestic violence situation. Safe storage saves lives.

PRIOR TO EVERY PLAY-DATE-- Ask the parents if there's a gun in the home. If the answer is yes, ask if the gun is securely locked up with the ammunition stored separately. Not only will you protect your child's life, but you will teach other parents to ask this question thereby protecting their children from gun injuries as well. Even if your child is going to a relative's house, it's important to ask about the presence of guns. Even if your child is in middle school, it's important to ask about the presence of guns. Teach your child to tell an adult immediately if they see a child with access to a gun.

LEARN THE SIGNS OF DEPRESSION-- Signs of depression include mood swings, personality changes, sleeplessness or sleeping too much,

feelings of isolation or worthlessness. If you suspect your child is depressed, you should seek the help of a professional and remove all dangerous substances and objects from the home to avoid self-harm.

PREVENTING SUICIDE-- Suicide is on the rise among young people and guns are the most lethal means of suicide. If a child or teen is depressed, it is critical to immediately remove all lethal means from the home, including but not limited to medications, firearms and other weapons, and poisons and then seek professional help from a licensed mental health provider. There are community resources available to help a child or teen who is depressed, such as 2-1-1 Broward (Dial 211), texting 988, as well as school counselors, to name a few. Suicidal thoughts are often short-term, born of crisis and nine out of ten people who survive a suicide attempt will never try again. But, be aware that the decision to attempt suicide is often impulsive, made in less than an hour and as little as five minutes. This is why it's critical to remove the child or teen's access to all lethal means.

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE FROM GUNS-- A gun is stolen every 90 seconds in the U.S. resulting in a quarter million stolen guns each year--enough guns to commit every violent firearm crime reported annually. Children and teens are not legally permitted to purchase firearms but are often able to take unsecured firearms from vehicles. Educating others about the dangers of unlocked guns can not only protect you and your family, but also your neighbors and friends. According to the F.B.I., eight out of ten school shooters used a gun from their home or the home of a relative.

With gun deaths at an all-time high of 48,000 per year and 65% of those deaths being suicides, we all need to be more attuned, more educated about gun safety, and more proactive about preventing gun injury in children.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. www.lwvbroward.org FREE CABLE GUN LOCKS CAN BE REQUESTED AT: Gloria.Lewis@VA.gov. Email your request and a gun lock will be mailed to your home, free of charge.

Tips on How to Talk to Children and Teens About Loss

It is estimated that 1 in 11 children in Florida will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18 (Judi’s House, 2023). Moreover, Broward County saw the loss of 7,269 people from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Parents / caretakers can benefit from the following information as a guide for having conversations with their children and teens to provide support during times of need.

Reflect: Any effort to assist your child(ren) should begin with self-reflection. Children and teens are sensitive to the stress felt by adults and may withhold their needs to not burden others.

Assess: When speaking with your child about loss, understanding what they already know can help you frame the conversation. Asking questions helps build trust and to realize their opinions are important to you, even when you disagree.

Listen: Listen for the thoughts, needs and feelings behind what is shared. As you listen to your child, identify things they say which are not true so you can provide accurate information.

Talk: Children and teens benefit from honest, clear, and age-appropriate information. Withholding information can contribute to their natural anxieties and may give the impression that things are too horrible to discuss. As a general rule, the younger the child is, the simpler the explanation you provide them needs to be. It is always better to keep things simple and concrete. If your child has more questions, you can provide them with additional information. This will be a continuing conversation. It will not, and does not, need to occur in one sitting.

Be an example: Sharing your feelings, and being honest about your emotions, sets a good example for children and teens. Let them know it is OK to feel, for example, crying often helps us to feel better. Your children benefit from seeing what appropriate coping looks like. Hiding your feelings may give the impression that we should not talk about things that are difficult. If you are having trouble managing your emotions, find support for yourself.

Stay Open: Children will often repeat questions about the death in an effort to gain understanding. Their comprehension may be limited by their developmental level. They may even exhibit a morbid curiosity about the details. Keep in mind that their curiosity is not intended to be hurtful or annoying. Be prepared to respond more than once, and with consistency, to the same questions. After a loss or a crisis, many children and adults need understanding and reassurance that they will be safe.

www.cscbroward.org | Facebook: www.facebook.com/cscbroward 53 CHILD CARE

You may not have all the answers, especially to the “big” questions that children or teens ask such as “why.” Often, the best response is “What do you think?” This response opens the door to the conversation and an insight to their concerns and needs.

Safeguard: Exposing your child and teens to continued or repeated stories/images about a loss and other crisis events can be overwhelming. Younger children may believe that repeated images and news stories are separate events and that dangers have not passed. Exposure to the media can also contribute to your stress and will be perceived by those around you. Focus on what you can control. This may be an opportunity to discuss established plans for safety and family/community response.

Maintain Routine: A routine is a helpful strategy as so much has already changed in a grieving child’s life. As a parent or caregiver of a grieving child, try to build routine and predictability into their day as much as possible. In the case that these adjustments take more time, it is recommended to seek out individual counseling.

• Reflect: Any effort to assist your child(ren) should begin with self-reflection. Children and teens are sensitive to the stress felt by adults and may withhold their needs to not burden others.

• Assess: When speaking with your child about loss, understanding what they already know can help you frame the conversation. Asking questions helps build trust and to realize their opinions are important to you, even when you disagree.

• Listen: Listen for the thoughts, needs and feelings behind what is shared. As you listen to your child, identify things they say which are not true so you can provide accurate information

Be Watchful: It is common for children to feel confused, anxious, and have difficulty paying attention or concentrating after a loss or crisis event. Some may be agitated, irritable, defensive or withdrawn. Separation anxiety may occur and occasionally a child may exhibit regressive behavior like thumb sucking or bed-wetting. It is common for children to feel anxious about what has happened and how it will impact their lives. If the child or teen had functioned well before the crisis, it is expected that they will return to their previous behaviors within a few weeks.

• Talk: Children and teens benefit from honest, clear, and age-appropriate information. Withholding information can contribute to their natural anxieties and may give the impression that things are too horrible to discuss. As a general rule, the younger the child is, the simpler the explanation you provide them needs to be. It is always better to keep things simple and concrete. If your child has more questions, you can provide them with additional information. This will be a continuing conversation. It will not, and does not, need to occur in one sitting.

Share: It is critical to share information about the loss to important people in your children’s life. This includes school staff and administrators, pediatricians, and parents/caregivers of your children’s friends. By sharing the loss, teachers and school staff will be able to note any behavioral changes as they return to school. A plan can be made in school if your child is struggling during class time to have breaks or see a school counselor. Make sure your child or teen knows that you shared information with their teachers, they need to understand there is a community of support surrounding them.

• Be an example: Sharing your feelings, and being honest about your emotions, sets a good example for children and teens. Let them know it is OK to feel, for example, crying often helps us to feel better. Your children benefit from seeing what appropriate coping looks like. Hiding your feelings may give the impression that we should not talk about things that are difficult. If you are having trouble managing your emotions, find support for yourself.

Find Support: There are a plethora of resources and organizations available to provide assistance following a loss. Reaching out and connecting with family and friends is critical in the grieving process. Now, more than ever, no one should grieve alone.

• Stay Open: Children will often repeat questions about the death in an effort to gain understanding. Their comprehension may be limited by their developmental level. They may even exhibit a morbid curiosity about the details. Keep in mind that their curiosity is not intended

Un llamado a la acción: Conviértase en Padre de Crianza

En un mundo que a menudo parece frío e indiferente, tenemos la oportunidad de marcar la diferencia. Si bien muchos pueden conocer el sistema de cuidado de crianza, pocos entienden realmente el proceso de licencias mandatorio por el estado y el papel vital de los padres de crianza . Los padres de crianza son una parte integral de la curación del trauma infantil y del mantenimiento de la conexión del niño con su familia biológica. Las agencias de cuidado de crianza ofrecen la oportunidad de ser ese cambio, una oportunidad de recibir la capacitación requerida por el DCF y el apoyo con tinuo una vez que los niños son colocados en su hogar. El cuidado de crianza, por su propia naturaleza, busca brindar estabilidad, apoyo y amor a niños que han enfrentado adversidades sin culpa alguna. Como posible padre de crianza, usted se encuentra en una posición única para ofrecer un entorno seguro y estable a un niño de 0 a 17 años que ha experimentado los traumas de la separación de sus familias biológicas. Las agencias de cui dado de crianza brinda n apoyo y supervisión continua a los padres de crianza con licencia. La decisión de convertirse en padre de crianza no debe tomarse a la ligera. Es un llamado que requiere desinterés, paciencia, compasión y un compromiso inquebrantable desde el primer día de capacitación y se extiende al día en que el niño llega a su hogar hasta el día en que el tribunal determina que el niño dejará su hogar. Las agencias de cuidado de crianza reconocen que este esfuerzo no está exento de desafíos. Los niños que necesitan atención suelen sufrir traumas

En un mundo que a menudo parece frío e indiferente, tenemos la oportunidad de marcar la diferencia.

comple jos que se manifiestan en forma d e problemas emocionales y de comportamiento. Estos comportamientos son una expresión de una necesidad insatisfecha. Las agencias de cuidado de crianza tienen personas que trabajan como parte del equipo profesional que brinda apoyo y supervisión adicional a todas las familias de crianza y a los niños en su hogar. Las clases de capacitación para padres de crianza son “Qué esperar cuando se espera un hijo de crianza”. Las agencias de cuidado de crianza bri ndan capacitación e inspección de viviendas. Ellos p ued en responder cualquier pregunta o inquietud que surja.

Las estadísticas que rodean el sistema de cuidado de crianza pueden ser abrumadoras.

Preguntas Frecuentes Sobre El Cuidado De Crianza

¿Qué es el cuidado de crianza?

El cuidado de crianza tiene como objetivo brindar cuidado temporal a niños y jóvenes que han sido separados de sus familias de origen. Las razones de la separación pueden incluir abuso, negligencia o abandono. El objetivo principal del cuidado de crianza es reunir al joven con su familia o un pariente.

¿Existe realmente una necesidad de padres de crianza en el condado de Broward?

¡Sí la hay! Actualmente, hay más de 1,800 niños colocados bajo cuidado autorizado en el condado de Broward y no hay suficientes hogares para albergarlos a todos. Cada uno de nuestros niños necesita una familia que esté dispuesta a brindarles un hogar estable, amoroso y consistente hasta que logren un hogar de permanencia.

¿Cuáles son los requisitos para convertirse en padre de crianza?

Un padre de crianza es un adulto seguro y estable en la comunidad. Un padre de crianza debe tener al menos 21 años, aprobar una verificación de antecedentes y completar la capacitación requerida. Un padre de crianza debe tener ingresos suficientes para cubrir sus gastos actuales y tener espacio en el dormitorio para un niño de crianza. Un niño de crianza no puede compartir habitación con un adulto. Los padres de crianza no tienen que ser dueños de su propia casa. Un padre de crianza no necesita tener experiencia previa como padre. Un formador ayudará a cualquier persona interesada en inscribirse en las clases de formación previa al servicio y completar la documentación requerida. Un especialista

en licencias completará el proceso de estudio de la vivienda. Por encima de todo, los padres de crianza deben ser personas que críen con paciencia y compasión debido a los traumas pasados que experimentaron sus niños.

¿Conoceré al niño antes de que lo coloquen en mi casa?

No. Debido a lo rápido que suele ser necesaria la colocación de un niño, no será posible conocer al joven. Sin embargo, su agencia de licencias le proporcionará información del perfil del niño, incluyendo traumas pasados y necesidades específicas del niño. Un padre de crianza decidirá si acepta a un niño en su hogar basándose en la información proporcionada por la agencia de licencias. Puede expresar una preferencia de edad y género como parte de una consideración de compatibilidad.

¿Puede el niño de crianza ir a la escuela a la que asisten mis hijos?

Ahora es ley federal que se haga todo lo posible para que los niños permanezcan en su escuela de origen. La Junta Escolar del Condado de Broward trabaja con el sistema de cuidado de crianza para diseñar la ruta del autobús escolar y hacer adaptaciones para cada niño de crianza.

¿Cuánto tiempo estará un niño de crianza en mi hogar?

Hay muchos factores a considerar y realmente no hay manera de saber cuánto tiempo puede permanecer un niño en su hogar. Un padre de crianza se compromete a cuidar a cada niño que ingresa a su hogar hasta que se pueda lograr un hogar permanencia. Por lo tanto, le animamos a que haga que cualquier niño de crianza forme parte de la familia. Esto significa incluirlos en las vacaciones familiares, las actividades extracurriculares y otras actividades familiares.

El Impacto Del Cuidado De Relevo

Criar a un niño con una discapacidad del desarrollo es un viaje único. En el torbellino de terapias, citas y desafíos diarios, muchos padres informan que descuidan su bienestar y se sienten física y emocionalmente agotados. Afortunadamente, existen numerosos recursos disponibles en nuestra comunidad para que los padres no tengan que sentirse solos.

Relevo es uno de esos servicios de apoyo. Relevo se entiende como una pausa clínica que brinda a los padres la oportunidad de dar un paso atrás, recargar energías y participar en prácticas de autocuidado. Los beneficios se extienden mucho más allá de la pausa momentánea, impactando positivamente tanto a los padres como, en última instancia, a toda la dinámica familiar.

Una de las principales ventajas del cuidado de relevo es la oportunidad que tienen los padres de priorizar su salud mental y su bienestar. El cuidado de relevo permite a los padres disfrutar de tiempo para ellos mismos, ya sea disfrutando de una tarde tranquila, practicando un pasatiempo o simplemente teniendo tiempo ininterrumpido para otros miembros de la familia. Cuando los padres descansan bien y se recuperan emocionalmente, pueden conectarse mejor con sus hijos, creando una dinámica familiar más enriquecedora y armoniosa.

Los factores estresantes de criar a un niño con discapacidad pueden afectar la relación de pareja. Pueden surgir disputas, interrupciones de la comunicación y distancia emocional entre las parejas a medida que navegan por las complejas necesidades de su hijo. Los padres de niños con discapacidades del desarrollo pueden enfrentar un mayor riesgo de separación o divorcio. El uso de cuidados de relevo les da a las parejas tiempo para fortalecer su relación al participar en actividades que disfrutan juntos, compartir conversaciones ininterrumpidas y reconstruir su conexión emocional.

Tomarse tiempo para el cuidado personal no es un lujo; es una necesidad para mantener un sistema familiar saludable. Reconocer la necesidad de

cuidados de relevo no es un signo de debilidad; es un reconocimiento de los desafíos inherentes al viaje único de criar a un niño con una discapacidad del desarrollo. El cuidado de relevo ofrece a los padres la oportunidad libre de culpa de centrarse en su bienestar, fomentando la resiliencia que impacta positivamente su capacidad para afrontar los desafíos únicos de criar a sus hijos. Cuando los padres invierten en su bienestar, regresan a su función de cuidadores con energías renovadas y una perspectiva renovada. Esto, a su vez, contribuye a un entorno familiar más positivo y de apoyo, lo que beneficia al niño.

Los beneficios del cuidado de relevo también se extienden a los hermanos. Criar a un niño con una discapacidad del desarrollo a menudo monopoliza el tiempo y la atención de los cuidadores. Entre las prisas para acudir a varias citas y atender las necesidades diarias de su hijo, los padres tienen poco tiempo para dedicarlo a otros miembros de la familia. Relevo permite a los padres dedicar toda su atención a sus otros hijos. Con el apoyo de relevo, se pueden priorizar las necesidades y deseos de los hermanos.

El cuidado de relevo es una herramienta importante en la caja de herramientas de las familias que crían a un niño con una discapacidad del desarrollo. Es un salvavidas que no sólo ofrece a los padres un merecido descanso, sino que también promueve el bienestar físico y mental. A medida que la sociedad continúa reconociendo la importancia de apoyar a las familias en sus viajes únicos, el cuidado de relevo emerge como un rayo de esperanza, que fomenta la resiliencia, la comprensión y, en última instancia, una unidad familiar más fuerte y comprometida.

El Centro de Habilidad Infantil de JAFCO está abierto 24/7/365 para brindar servicios integrales a familias que crían a un niño con discapacidades del desarrollo. Estos incluyen cuidados de relevo diurnos y nocturnos en un lugar. No dude en comunicarse con el 954315-7033 para obtener más información.

Abriendo La Puerta A La Curación: La Importancia De Buscar Ayuda Terapéutica

Escrito Por Jeanette Balayla, MS., RMFTI., Directora Ejecutiva De Full Time Human, LLC. Y Doris Jucht, Entrenadora De Vida, Especialista En Bienestar, Directora Financiera De Full Time Human, LLC.

En la sociedad contemporánea, mencionar “terapia” a menudo evoca imágenes de personas que experimentan psicosis o enfermedades mentales graves. Sin embargo, a medida que crece la conciencia sobre sus innumerables beneficios, la terapia se vuelve cada vez más accesible y con la que más personas pueden relacionarse; en general, en lugar de estar reservada únicamente para quienes se encuentran en circunstancias desafortunadas, la terapia ahora se reconoce como una herramienta valiosa para manejar los factores estresantes cotidianos y mejorar las relaciones y fomentar el crecimiento personal. Sin embargo, persisten conceptos erróneos generales en torno a la terapia, que actúan como barreras que impiden que las personas accedan al apoyo y la orientación que podrían necesitar.

CONCEPTOS ERRÓNEOS PROBLEMÁTICOS SOBRE LA TERAPIA:

Con frecuencia se malinterpreta que la terapia está destinada únicamente a personas que padecen una enfermedad mental grave. Contrariamente a esta creencia, la terapia abarca un amplio espectro de preocupaciones, que van desde el manejo de los factores estresantes cotidianos hasta el tratamiento de afecciones más agudas. Otro concepto erróneo predominante sugiere que la terapia gira predominantemente en torno a profundizar en las experiencias de la infancia. Sin embargo, la terapia tiene muchos más matices e incorpora una amplia gama de técnicas y enfoques terapéuticos adaptados a las necesidades y objetivos únicos de cada persona. Además, existe un mito generalizado de que buscar terapia es indicativo de debilidad, insinuando que sólo aquellos que son incapaces de manejar sus problemas de forma independiente optarían por la terapia. Esta noción pasa por alto el coraje y la resiliencia inherentes que se requieren para reconocer cuándo se necesita ayuda y tomar medidas proactivas hacia la superación personal y el bienestar emocional.

BENEFICIOS DE BUSCAR TERAPIA:

En el ámbito de la terapia, crear un espacio seguro y confidencial es primordial. Aquí, se anima a individuos, parejas, familias y grupos a explorar sus pensamientos, sentimientos y experiencias sin temor a

ser juzgados. El tiempo y el espacio se crean intencionalmente para priorizar la salud mental, fomentando un sentido más profundo de autoconciencia y conocimiento. Dentro de este entorno de apoyo, se desarrollan herramientas y estrategias prácticas para mejorar la comunicación y las habilidades interpersonales, sentando las bases para relaciones más saludables. Además, la terapia equipa a las personas con mecanismos de afrontamiento para gestionar eficazmente el estrés, la ansiedad y las emociones desafiantes, capacitándolas para afrontar los altibajos de la vida con resiliencia y gracia. A través de este proceso, se facilita el crecimiento personal y el autodescubrimiento a medida que los individuos profundizan en sus creencias, valores y objetivos, ganando claridad y dirección para el futuro. En última instancia, la terapia cataliza un cambio positivo, empoderando a las personas para liberarse de patrones nocivos para la salud y superar luchas pasadas y presentes con el apoyo y la orientación que necesitan para prosperar.

DANDO EL PRIMER PASO:

Buscar terapia puede resultar desalentador, pero también es un acto de valentía y cuidado personal. Incluso el paso más pequeño, como hacer la primera llamada a un recurso terapéutico, puede encaminarlo hacia una vida más saludable y plena. Recuerde, el progreso se logra paso a paso y cada paso que dé para priorizar su salud mental es un paso en la dirección correcta. Vale la pena invertir en su bienestar mental y merece vivir una vida que se sienta completa y equilibrada.

Epílogo:

Ubicado en el condado de Broward, Full Time Human se levanta como una luz guía, fundado por un equipo de madre e hija, Doris Jucht y Jeanette Balayla, apasionadas por el bienestar holístico. Full Time Human ofrece una variedad de servicios, desde terapia y sesiones de orientación hasta talleres, brindan apoyo y empoderamiento a individuos, parejas, familias y grupos.

Una Niñez Fabulosa –Mente Saludable – Familias Exitosas

Presentado por la Comisión de Salud del Comportamiento y Prevención de uso de Sustancias de United Way del Condado de Broward.

¿Sabía usted que el estrés en la infancia y la niñez puede dejar secuelas en el cerebro de los adultos? ¿Sabía usted que el 50% de las personas desarrollarán al menos una condición de salud mental durante su vida? ¿Y que la mitad de esas personas desarrollarán un problema de salud mental antes de los 14 años de edad? ¿Se imagina la cantidad de sufrimiento que puede evitarse si esos jóvenes de 14 años se sometieran a revisiones de salud mental por parte de sus pediatras? Las investigaciones demuestran que la prevención y la intervención temprana de los jóvenes con problemas de salud mental pueden mejorar drásticamente los resultados inmediatos y a largo plazo.

Muchos jóvenes de nuestra comunidad se quejan de que sus padres no toman en serio sus problemas de salud mental. El estigma, la falta de conocimiento y el escaso acceso a los servicios son algunas de las posibles razones. Y las consecuencias son dolor, sufrimiento, progresión de los trastornos de salud mental, hospitalizaciones, encarcelamientos, abandono escolar, desempleo, muerte prematura, aislamiento social, deficiencias, pérdida de productividad y más.

Una vez que los jóvenes llegan a la edad adulta no hay mucho que los padres puedan hacer; pues los padres no pueden obligarles a recibir atención médica después de cumplir los dieciocho años. Es un ciclo realmente doloroso y por eso es importante iniciar las conversaciones a temprana edad, prestar atención a las emociones y los sentimientos de los niños y tomar las medidas pertinentes en caso de ser necesario. Está bien no estar bien. Está bien pedir ayuda.

Los padres son la principal influencia en la vida de sus hijos

Todos afrontamos las situaciones de manera distinta. A algunas personas les resulta fácil frenar y concentrarse en estar presentes en el momento. “¿Cómo me siento en este momento? ¿Por qué estoy tan enfadado? ¿Qué puedo hacer para sentirme mejor? ¿Cómo se sienten mis hijos?”. La verdad es que la vida es corta y hay que aprovecharla al máximo. Está bien pedir ayuda. No sólo para nosotros, sino también para nuestros hijos. ¡Hagamos que su infancia y su niñez sean maravillosas ahora mismo!

Ideas para los Padres

Cuando estamos ocupados, tendemos a insensibilizarnos ante nuestras verdaderas necesidades y las necesidades de quienes nos rodean. Ahora más que nunca, es importante centrarse en lo que podemos controlar.

He aquí algunas sugerencias:

Planifique su día con antelación. Desarrolle una rutina familiar diaria. Levántese y acuéstese todos los días a la misma hora. Tome una ducha y proceda a vestirse. Haga ejercicio. Dedique un tiempo a la oración, a la meditación, a la jardinería, a tomar nota de lo que pensamos o sentimos en un diario, etc.

Tome decisiones saludables. El espacio entre algo que sucede y su respuesta es donde reside su poder. Adopte una actitud positiva y aprecie lo positivo de las situaciones, tenga fe en sí mismo y en los demás, y pida apoyo cuando sea necesario.

Prevención es protección. Pase tiempo con sus hijos. Conozca los hechos sobre el alcohol, la nicotina, la marihuana u otras sustancias, especialmente porque estas sustancias químicas pueden tener consecuencias en el cerebro en desarrollo. El cerebro humano se desarrolla hasta los 25 años. Escuchar a los niños y tener conversaciones significativas sin juzgarlos reduce el consumo de alcohol y otras sustancias y retrasa la edad del primer consumo. La prevención funciona: el objetivo es detener la adicción antes de que comience.

Abracemos nuestros sentimientos. Es natural que a veces nos sintamos ansiosos y asustados. Tómese un descanso de las noticias y participe en actividades familiares divertidas y relajantes. Recordemos que “se necesita un pueblo para criar a un niño”. Todos podemos desempeñar un papel para garantizar una excelente infancia para todos los niños del condado de Broward. Rompamos el estigma compartiendo el hecho de que la salud mental es tan esencial como la salud física. Normalizar la conversación sobre salud mental permite a las personas hablar y obtener la ayuda que necesitan. También seamos conscientes de que las hormonas del estrés se liberan durante situaciones estresantes, y la presencia frecuente de estas hormonas del estrés puede provocar condiciones físicas como presión arterial alta y enfermedades cardíacas; condiciones de salud mental como depresión y ansiedad; y malos resultados de salud en general. El racismo, los problemas financieros y las altas expectativas también son factores estresantes que afectan nuestra salud. Seamos amables con nosotros mismos y con los demás. Hablemos de una manera que refleje evidencia científica y demuestre respeto. Acabemos con el acoso, la discriminación, el dolor y el sufrimiento. Llevemos esperanza a nuestras comunidades, a nuestras familias y a nuestras vidas.

Defiéndase de los Ciberacosadores & los Peligros en Línea: 3 Consejos Esenciales Para

Padres & Adolescentes

Por: Cairo Eubanks de Trayendo el Globo (Bringing the Globe)

En el creciente ámbito de las redes sociales, la tecnología se ha convertido en un arma de doble filo. Si bien tiene el poder de crear conciencia, fomentar el apoyo a causas sociales y crear comunidades globales en línea, también alberga aspectos más oscuros, como el ciberacoso, el ciberacecho y las amenazas en línea que pueden escalar fuera de la línea y afectar las interacciones de la vida real.

Yo lo sé de primera mano, ya que soporté una pesadilla de acoso cibernético que me impulsó a actuar. De esta experiencia surgió la Operación: ALTO al Ciberacoso (Operation: STOP Cyber Harassment). Mi transformación de víctima a defensor arrojó conocimientos invaluables, que estoy ansioso por compartir para ayudar a padres y adolescentes a navegar en el panorama digital.

Mi historia: Transformando la Adversidad en Defensa

En el 2020, me sorprendió descubrir que mi foto de perfil de Facebook se había vuelto a publicar maliciosamente en una cuenta obscena de Instagram. Es más, numerosas personas en mi campus universitario se enfrentaron a ataques similares por parte del mismo perpetrador. A pesar de los incansables esfuerzos por bloquearlo y denunciarlo en varias plataformas de las redes sociales, persistió, evadiendo las consecuencias con cada nuevo perfil. Decidido a romper el ciclo de acoso, movilicé a más de 30 víctimas para que hablaran, iniciando informes policiales en todo el país y abogando por cambios de políticas dentro de la administración de nuestra universidad. Reconociendo la creciente prevalencia del ciberacoso en medio del aumento de la actividad en línea inducido por la pandemia, fundé Operación: Alto al Ciberacoso (Operation: STOP Cyber Harassment). Nuestro evento inaugural en abril del 2021 unió a las fuerzas del orden, educadores, defensores de la salud mental y líderes comunitarios, atrayendo a más de 240 personas y solidificando #OperationSTOP como un símbolo de esperanza para aquellos atrapados por el acoso cibernético.

Señales de Advertencia de Acoso: El Reconocimiento Temprano es Clave

No Ignore Las Señales: el acoso cibernético a menudo comienza de manera sutil, lo que hace que la detección temprana sea crucial. Nuestros programas brindan a los asistentes un espacio seguro para validar sus experiencias y capacitarlos para tomar medidas decisivas.

Consejos para Estudiantes

Documente los incidentes: Capture evidencia mediante capturas de pantalla antes de bloquear o reportar cuentas sospechosas. La documentación es vital para reportes efectivos y resoluciones.

Hable Abiertamente: Ante el acoso cibernético o las amenazas en línea, confía lo antes posible en un adulto de confianza. Evite compartirlo con sus compañeros inicialmente y busque orientación de figuras que lo apoyen.

Conozca Sus Opciones De Denuncia: Familiarícese con los canales de denuncia anónimos en su escuela o plataformas en línea para abordar los problemas de manera discreta.

Consejos Para Padres: Protegiendo El Espacio Digital De Su Hijo

Contraseñas Seguras: Anime a su hijo a utilizar contraseñas únicas y seguras y actualícelas periódicamente para fortalecer la seguridad de la cuenta contra infracciones comunes.

Implemente la Autenticación de Dos Factores (2FA): Agregue una capa adicional de protección habilitando 2FA siempre que sea posible, mejorando la seguridad y desalentando intentos de acceso no autorizados.

Eduque y Comprometa: Fomente diálogos abiertos con su hijo sobre la seguridad en línea, enfatizando la importancia de verificar las solicitudes de amistad y reconocer los intentos de suplantación de identidad.

Al equipar a las familias con estas herramientas esenciales, podemos combatir el acoso cibernético y fomentar un entorno digital más seguro para todos. Rompamos el silencio y empoderemos a nuestras comunidades para enfrentar las amenazas digitales de frente.

La Mayoría De Las Lesiones Se Pueden Prevenir: Aprenda Cómo Mantener Segura A Su Familia

Por Rachele Solomon, MPH, Coordinadora de Prevención de Lesiones del Hospital Memorial Regional y el Hospital de Niños Joe DiMaggio, División de Servicios de Trauma y Coordinadora de Safe Kids Broward.

Las lesiones no intencionales son la principal causa de muerte en niños de 1 a 9 años y la quinta causa en niños menores de un año. Las lesiones no intencionales provocan más de 3000 muertes por año en niños menores de 10 años y más de 2 millones de visitas a la sala de emergencias por lesiones no fatales. Sin embargo, ¡la mayoría de estas lesiones se pueden prevenir! Aquí hay algunas maneras de mantener segura a su familia:

Seguridad De Los Niños Pasajeros: Los sistemas de restricciones infantiles reducen el riesgo de muerte en un accidente automovilístico. Los padres y cuidadores pueden reducir las lesiones eligiendo el asiento de carro adecuado para su hijo, usando e instalando un asiento de carro correctamente, manteniendo a los bebés y los niños pequeños mirando hacia atrás hasta que alcancen la altura y el peso máximo del asiento de carro, y enseñando a los niños a abrocharse el cinturón cada vez que van en el auto. Consulte Safe Kids Broward para obtener una lista de lugares de inspección de asientos para automóviles (https://www.safekids.org/coalition/safe-kids-broward-county).

Conducir Distraído:

Conducir distraído implica cualquier actividad que quite su atención de la carretera. Nunca envíe mensajes de texto ni hable por el celular mientras conduce, administre su tiempo para no tener prisa, concéntrese en lo que está haciendo y reduzca la velocidad. Los padres y cuidadores deben dar un buen ejemplo, crear reglas de seguridad familiar cuando usted no esté allí para supervisar y alentar a sus hijos adolescentes a que hablen cuando algún conductor conduzca de manera insegura.

Seguridad De Los

Peatones: Los niños pequeños corren un mayor riesgo de sufrir lesiones debido a los peligros del tráfico. Los niños deben ser supervisados activamente en el tráfico y siempre cruzar la calle con un adulto. Enseñe a los niños a mirar a la izquierda, a la derecha y nuevamente a la izquierda, a hacer contacto visual con los conductores y a mantener la cabeza en alto y no usar los dispositivos al cruzar la calle. Los niños solo deben cruzar por un paso de peatones y usar ropa brillante/reflectora cuando sea posible.

Seguridad Sobre Ruedas:

Los cascos salvan vidas y reducen el riesgo de sufrir lesiones en la cabeza después de un accidente de bicicleta, scooter o patineta. Es importante que el casco se ajuste correctamente. Los cascos deben estar ajustados por todos lados, quedar bajos y nivelados, y ser cómodos; asegúrese de que las correas laterales formen una “V” justo debajo de la oreja y que la correa de la barbilla esté ajustada cuando abra bien la boca. Enseñe a los niños a revisar el equipo, seguir las reglas de tránsito y usar ropa brillante/reflectora cuando conduzcan. ¡Recuerde ser un buen modelo a seguir y usar su casco cada vez que monte también!

Sueño Seguro: hasta al menos el año de edad, los bebés corren riesgo de asfixia cuando duermen. Aquí hay algunos pasos para mantener a su bebé seguro mientras duerme y toma una siesta: coloque al bebé boca arriba durante todas las horas de sueño, use un colchón firme y una sábana ajustable, retire todas las mantas, juguetes, almohadas y protectores de parachoques, vista al bebé con una manta de vestir o mameluco y comparta su habitación, no su cama.

MANTENIENDO A LOS NIÑOS A SALVO DE LAS ARMAS

Por Bárbara Markley, abogado, defensora de la seguridad de las armas y copresidenta del Comité de Prevención de la Violencia Armada de la Liga de Mujeres Votantes del Condado de Broward. Su programa de seguridad de armas, Lock it Up! ha distribuido 30.000 candados gratuitos en el Condado de Broward.

Las armas son ahora la principal causa de muerte de niños y adolescentes estadounidenses, superando por segundo año consecutivo a los accidentes de tránsito, las enfermedades, los envenenamientos y los ahogamientos. En promedio, 22 niños y adolescentes reciben disparos cada día y 5.4 millones de niños viven en hogares con armas sin la debida seguridad. Es una estadística desgarradora y el flujo constante de nuevas noticias que envuelven niños y armas puede resultar abrumador. Aunque es fácil sentirse impotente ante la situación actual, hay medidas que se pueden tomar para proteger a sus hijos de las lesiones y la muerte por armas de fuego:

PRACTIQUE UN ALMACENAMIENTO SEGURO -- Según el Journal of the American Medical Association [La Revista de la Asociación Médica Estadounidense], las prácticas de almacenamiento seguro, como guardar las armas de fuego descargadas, en un lugar cerrado con llave, separadas de la munición y/o aseguradas con un dispositivo de seguridad extrínseco, demostraron ser protectoras frente a los disparos no intencionados con armas de fuego y los intentos de suicidio entre adolescentes y niños.

Las cuatro prácticas específicas de mantener el arma bajo llave, descargada y guardar la munición bajo llave y en un lugar separado se asociaron cada una con un efecto protector para reducir este tipo de lesiones en hogares con niños y adolescentes.

Lo cierto es que un hogar con un arma sin seguro tiene el doble de probabilidades de sufrir un homicidio, el triple de probabilidades de sufrir un suicidio y el quíntuple de probabilidades de sufrir una víctima mortal en una situación de violencia doméstica. El almacenamiento seguro salva vidas.

ANTES DE QUE SU HIJO EMPIECE A JUGAR -- Pregúntele a los padres si hay un arma en la casa. Si la respuesta es afirmativa, pregunte si el arma está bien guardada y si la munición está almacenada por separado. No sólo protegerá la vida de su hijo, sino que enseñará a otros padres a hacer esta pregunta, protegiendo así también a sus hijos de lesiones por arma de fuego. Incluso si su hijo va a casa de un pariente, es importante preguntar sobre la presencia de armas. Incluso si su hijo está en la escuela secundaria, es importante preguntar sobre la presencia de armas. Enseñe a su hijo a avisar inmediatamente a un adulto si ve a un niño con acceso a un arma.

APRENDA A RECONOCER LAS SEÑALES DE DEPRESION-

Las señales de depresión incluyen cambios de ánimo, cambios de personalidad, falta de sueño, o dormir demasiado, sentimientos de aislamiento o de inutilidad. Si Ud. sospecha que su hijo está deprimido, debe buscar la ayuda de un profesional

y debe retirar del hogar todas las sustancias peligrosas y objetos para evitar que se autolesione.

PREVENIR EL SUICIDIO- - El suicidio está aumentando entre los jóvenes y las armas de fuego son el medio más letal de suicidio. Si un niño o adolescente está deprimido, es fundamental eliminar inmediatamente todos los medios letales de la casa, incluyendo pero no limitado a, medicamentos, armas de fuego y otras armas, y venenos y luego buscar ayuda profesional de un proveedor de salud mental con licencia para ejercer como tal. Hay recursos comunitarios disponibles para ayudar a un niño o adolescente que está deprimido, como 2-1-1 Broward (Marque 2-1-1), enviando un mensaje de texto al 9-8-8, así como a los orientadores escolares, por nombrar algunos. Los pensamientos suicidas son a menudo a corto plazo, nacidos de una crisis y nueve de cada diez personas que sobreviven a un intento de suicidio nunca lo volverán a intentar. Pero hay que tener en cuenta que la decisión de intentar suicidarse suele ser impulsiva, tomada en menos de una hora y en tan sólo cinco minutos. Por eso, es fundamental eliminar el acceso del niño o adolescente a todos los medios letales.

OTRAS COSAS QUE PUEDE HACER PARA PROTEGER A SU HIJO DE LAS ARMAS DE FUEGO -- En Estados Unidos se roba un arma cada 90 segundos, lo que supone un cuarto de millón de armas robadas al año, suficientes armas para cometer todos los delitos violentos con armas de fuego que se denuncian anualmente. Los niños y los adolescentes no están autorizados legalmente a comprar armas de fuego, pero a menudo pueden tomar armas de fuego no aseguradas de los vehículos. Educar a los demás sobre los peligros de las armas sin seguro no sólo puede protegerle a usted y a su familia, sino también a sus vecinos y amigos. Según el F.B.I., ocho de cada diez tiradores escolares utilizaron un arma de su casa, o de la casa de un familiar.

Con 48.000 muertes al año por armas de fuego, el 65% de las cuales son suicidios, todos debemos estar más atentos, ser más conscientes de la seguridad de las armas de fuego y ser más proactivos en la prevención de lesiones infantiles por arma de fuego.

Consejos de Cómo Hablarle a los Niños Acerca de una Pérdida

Por Julissa Reynoso, LMHC, Directora de Programación, y Daniel Sheridan, Ph.D, Clínico y Asesor de Formación en el Children’s Bereavement Center (Centro de Duelo Infantil)

Se calcula que 1 de cada 12 niños del Estado de la Florida sufrirá la muerte de uno de sus padres o hermanos antes de los 18 años (Judi’s House, 2022). Además, el Condado de Broward vió una pérdida de 5.825 personas de COVID-19 en los últimos dos años. Los padres/cuidadores pueden beneficiarse de la siguiente información como guía para tener conversaciones con sus hijos y brindarles apoyo en momentos de necesidad.

Reflexione: Cualquier esfuerzo por ayudar a su(s) hijo(s) debe comenzar con una auto-reflexión. Los niños son sensibles al estrés de los adultos y pueden ocultar sus necesidades para no agobiar a los demás.

Evalúe: Cuando se le habla a un hijo sobre pérdida, comprenda que lo que ya sabe puede ayudarlo a enmarcar la conversación. Hacer preguntas ayuda a generar confianza y a que se den cuenta que sus opiniones son importantes para usted, inclusive cuando no esté de acuerdo.

Escuche: Escuche los pensamientos, necesidades y sentimientos que hay detrás de lo que cuentan. Al escuchar a su hijo, identifique las cosas que dice que no son ciertas para que pueda brindarle información precisa.

Hable: Los niños se benefician de una información honesta, clara y adecuada para su edad. Ocultar información puede contribuir a sus ansiedades naturales y puede dar la impresión que las cosas son demasiado horribles para conversar acerca de ellas. Por regla general, mientras más pequeño sea el niño, más sencilla debe ser la explicación que se le de. Siempre es mejor que las cosas sean sencillas y concretas. Si un niño tiene más preguntas, se le puede brindar información adicional. Esta será una conversación continua, NO tiene porque producirse en una sola sesión.

Sea un ejemplo: Comparta sus sentimientos y sea sincero con sus emociones. Eso fija un buen ejemplo para los niños. Hágales saber que no pasa nada si se sienten. . . x, el llorar a menudo nos hace sentir mejor. Los niños se benefician de ver cómo se enfrenta la situación. Ocultar los sentimientos puede dar la impresión de que no hablamos de cosas difíciles. Si tiene problema para manejar sus emociones, busque apoyo.

Manténganse Abierto: Los niños suelen a veces repetir las preguntas acerca de la muerte en un esfuerzo por comprender. Su comprensión puede estar limitada por su nivel de desarrollo. Incluso pueden mostrar una curiosidad morbosa por los detalles. Tenga en cuenta que su curiosidad no pretende ser hiriente o molesta. Este preparado para responderle más de una vez, y con coherencia a las mismas preguntas. Después de una pérdida o crisis, muchos niños y adultos necesitan comprensión y seguridad de que estarán a salvo.

Es posible que no tenga todas las respuestas, especialmente a las “grandes” preguntas que hacen los niños como “¿por qué?” A menudo, la mejor respuesta es “¿qué te parece?” Esta respuesta abre la puerta a la conversación y a conocer sus preocupaciones y necesidades.

Salvaguarde: Exponer a su (s) hijo (s) a historias / imágenes contínuas o repetidas acerca de una pérdida y otros sucesos de crisis puede ser abrumador. Los niños más pequeños pueden creer que las imágenes repetidas y las noticias son acontecimientos separados y que el peligro no ha pasado. La exposición a los medios de comunicación también puede contribuir a su estrés y será percebida por quienes le rodean. Concéntrese en lo que puede controlar. Esta puede ser una oportunidad para conversar acerca de los planes establecidos para la seguridad y la respuesta de la familia/ comunidad.

Esté Atento: Es habitual que los niños se sientan confusos, ansiosos y tengan dificultades para prestar atención o concentrarse después de una pérdida o crisis. Algunos pueden estar agitados, irritables, a la defensiva, o retraídos. Puede aparecer ansiedad por separación y, ocasionalmente, un niño puede mostrar un comportamiento regresivo como chuparse el dedo o mojar la cama. Es habitual que los niños se sientan ansiosos por lo que ha ocurrido y por cómo afectará a sus vidas. Si el niño había funcionado bien antes de la crisis, es de esperar que vuelva a sus comportamientos anteriores al cabo de unas semanas.

Mantenga una Rutina: Una rutina es una estrategia útil ya que tantas cosas han cambiado en la vida de un niño pasando por un duelo. Como padre o cuidador de un niño pasando por un duelo, intente crear una rutina y previsibilidad en el día del niño como sea posible. En caso que estos ajustes tomen más tiempo, se recomienda buscar orientación individual.

Busque Apoyo: Existe una gran cantidad de recursos y organizaciones que ofrecen ayuda tras una pérdida. En el proceso del duelo es fundamental buscar y comunicarse con familiares y amigos. Ahora, más que nunca, nadie debería pasar por el proceso del duelo solo.

Si usted, o alguien que conoce, ha experimentado la muerte de un ser querido, el Children’s Bereavement Center [Centro de Duelo para Niños], ofrece grupos de apoyo al duelo GRATUITOS para niños, adolescentes, adultos jóvenes y sus familias en todo el sur de Florida y en todo el país de forma virtual.

Yon Apèl Pou Aksyon: Vin Yon Paran Adoptif

Otè: Rebecca Korda, Manadjè Rekritman ak Fòmasyon, National Youth Advocate Program (Pwogram Sipò Jènès Nasyonal)

Nan yon monn ki souvan parèt frèt ak endiferan, gen yon opòtinite pou nou fè yon diferans.

Pandan anpil moun ka okouran de sistèm plasman familyal tanporè a, li ra jwenn kèk moun ki konprann pwosesis otorizsyon leta enpoze ak wòl enpòtan anpil fanmi dakèy tanporè. Se yon pati entegral nan gerizon timoun twomatize, epi li fasilite koneksyon timoun yo ak fanmi byolojik yo. Ajans plasman familyal yo ofri yon chans pou chanjman sa afèt. Se yon opòtinite pou resevwa fòmasyon Depatman Children and Family (DCF) ki nesesè ak sipò kontinyèl yon fwa yo mete timoun yo lakay ou. Objektif plasman familial tanporè, se chèche bay estabilite, sipò ak lanmou pou timoun ki te fè fas ak advèsite san fòt pa yo. Kòm yon potansyèl paran dakèy, ou gen yon pozisyon inik pou ofri yon anviwònman ki an sekirite ak estab, pou yon timoun 0-17 lane ki te twomatize akòz separasyon ak fanmi byolojik yo. Ajans plasman familyal rann sipò ak sipèvizyon kontinyèl bay paran dakèy lisansye yo.

Ou pa dwe pran alalejè desizyon pou vin yon paran dakèy. Se yon apèl ki mande sakrifis, pasyans, konpasyon, ak yon angajman enkondisyonèl depi premye jou fòmasyon an jiska jou yon timoun rive lakay ou, e jiska jou tribinal la detèmine timoun nan pral kite lakay ou. Ajans adoptif yo rekonèt efò sa a pa san defi. Timoun ki bezwen swen, souvan ap soufri ak twoma konplèks ki manifeste kòm pwoblèm konpòtman ak emosyonèl. Konpòtman sa yo se ekspresyon yon bezwen ki pa satisfè. Ajans plasman yo gen moun k

ap travay nan ekip pwofesyonèl ki bay sipò ak sipèvizyon adisyonèl pou tout fanmi dakèy yo ak timoun yo. Klas fòmasyon paran yo rele “Kisa Pou Atann Lè w Pral Akeyi Yon Timoun Tanporè”. Ajans dakèy bay fòmasyon ak enspeksyon lakay ou. Yo ka reponn nenpòt kesyon oswa enkyetid ou prezante.

Statistik konsènan sistèm plasman familial ka boulvèsan. Dapre Biwo Timoun, nan nenpòt jou, gen prèske 440,000 timoun nan plasman dakèy Ozetazini. Sa vle di, nan Konte Broward sèlman gen plis pase 1,800 timoun. Yon envestigatè pwoteksyon timoun ka deside retire yon timoun nan men moun k ap pran swen yo si gen kèk eksperyans abi, abandon, oswa neglijans. Lavi yo imedyatman make pa enstabilite ak ensètitid. Ou gen pouvwa pou chanje istwa sa a.

Lè w vin yon paran dakèy tanporè, ou ofri yon timoun yon sans konfò, yon woutin ki konsistan chak jou, ak yon opòtinite pou l geri ak grandi. Se yon chans pou nouri rezistans li nan fè fas a advèsite. Enpak yon paran dakèy depase timoun endividyèl la. Efò w ka mennen timoun ou akeyi lakay ou a yon avni kap pi bèl pou yo. Desizyon w pou w vin yon paran adoptif ka yon pwen desizif nan lavi yon timoun.

Kesyon Yo Poze Pi Souvan Sou Swen Adoptif

Otè Michele Nadeau, Kowòdonatè Fòmasyon ak Sipò Pwofesyonèl, National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP)

Ki sa ki se swen adoptif?

Entansyon Swen adoptif se bay swen familyal tanporè pou timoun ak jèn lalwa retire nan fanmi orijinal yo. Rezon ki fè yo retire yo ka poutèt abi, neglijans oswa abandon. Objektif prensipal swen adoptif se pou reyini jèn yo ak fanmi yo oswa yon paran.

Èske gen yon bezwen reyèl pou paran adoptif nan Konte Broward?

Wi, genyen! Kounye a, gen plis pase 1,800 timoun yo mete nan etabliman otorize nan Konte Broward epi pa gen ase kay pou akomode yo tout. Chak timoun nou yo bezwen yon fanmi ki dispoze bay yo yon kay ki estab, ki ki gen lanmou e ki konsistan jiskaske li pèmanan.

Ki kondisyon ki genyen pou w vin yon paran dakèy?

Yon paran dakèy se yon adilt ki an sekirite, ki estab nan kominote a. Yon paran dakèy dwe gen omwen 21 an, pase yon verifikasyon vi pase l epi konplete fòmasyon obligatwa yo. Yon paran dakèy dwe gen ase revni pou fè fas ak depans aktyèl yo epi gen espas chanm pou yon timoun adoptif tanporè. Yon timoun adoptif tanporè pa ka pataje yon chanm ak yon adilt. Paran dakèy yo pa oblije posede pwòp kay yo. Yon paran dakèy pa bezwen gen eksperyans paran anvan. Yon antrenè ap bay sipò ba nenpòt moun ki enterese enskri pou klas fòmasyon predisponib epi ranpli dokiman obligatwa. Yon espesyalis Lisansye pral konplete pwosesis etid kay la. Anplis paran dakèy yo dwe moun ki gen pasyans ak konpasyon pou twoma pitit yo te sibi nan pase yo.

Èske

m ap rankontre timoun nan anvan yo mete l lakay mwen?

Non. Akòz rapidite yon plasman anjeneral nesesè pou yon timoun, rankontre jèn yo pap posib. Sepandan, ajans kap sètifye w la pral ba w enfòmasyon sou pwofil timoun nan tankou ekspreryans twomatis ki te pase l ak bezwen espesifik timoun nan. Yon paran dakèy ap deside aksepte yon timoun nan kay yo dapre enfòmasyon ajans sètifikasyon an bay. Ou ka eksprime yon preferans laj ak sèks kòm yon pati nan yon konsiderasyon ki koresponn.

Èske timoun adoptif tanporè a ka ale nan menm lekòl ak pitit mwen?

Kounye a gen yon lwa federal ki fè tout tantativ pou timoun yo rete nan lekòl orijinal yo. Komisyon Konsèy Lekòl Konte Broward travay ak sistèm swen adoptif la pou voye yon otobis lekòl epi fè aranjman transpòtasyon pou chak timoun adoptif tanporè yo.

Konbyen tan yon timoun adoptif tanporè pral rete lakay mwen?

Genyen anpil faktè pou konsidere e pa gen okenn fason pou konnen konbyen tan yon timoun ka rete lakay ou. Yon paran dakèy pran angajman pou l pran swen chak timoun ki antre lakay yo jiskaske yo ka jwenn adopsyon pèmanan pou yo. Se poutèt sa, nou ankouraje lekòl ak lòt aktivite an fanmi.

Kijan Entèlijans Atifisyèl (AI) Ka Sipòte

Fanmi Ki

Gen Timoun

Lisa Math BSc, CRPS-F Direktè, Pwogram Family S.T.A.R. Rezo Familyal sou Andikap

Entèlijans atifisyèl (AI) ap transfòme anpil fason fanmi ki gen timoun familiarize yo ak edikasyon, swen sante, ak entèraksyon sosyal. Teknoloji pwisan sa a an fonksyon pou kreye yon anviwònman ki pi pèsonalize, pi efikas e k ap kapab bay sipò pou timoun atravè plizyè aspè nan lavi yo. Men kèk egzanp espesifik sou jan yo itilize AI pou bay timoun yo sipò.

• Aprantisaj pèsonalize: AI ka ede konsepsyonalize pwogram aprantisaj pèsonalize, ki ap ajistab a bezwen ak pwogrè inik chak timoun. Algoritm machin aprantisaj otmatik ka aprann tout tan, adapte ak metòd aprantisaj e pwogresyon yon timoun, epi remèt kontni edikatif ak egzèsis pèsonalize.

• Kontni Aksesib: Videyo AI ka fè kontni edikatif vin pi enteresan ak aksesib. Ak karakteristik tèks-a-lapawòl e lapawòl-a-tèks, li asire enklizivite pou timoun ki gen pwoblèm tande oswa vizyèl. Ou ka itilize videyo anime AI pou ilistre konsèp konplèks kap fasilite konpreansyon.

• Swivi Entèvansyon: Yo ka itilize zouti AI pou kontwole ak swiv pwogrè entèvansyon. AI ka analize done sou pèfòmans ak angajman elèv yo, bay apèsi pou pi byen konprann pwogrè epi pran desizyon ki baze sou done yo.

• Kominikasyon ak Sipò: Zouti AI kapab bay fanmi sipò 24/7, reponn kesyon, bay enfòmasyon sou sèvis ak dwa.

• Asistans Pwofesè: AI ka ede edikatè planifye kourikoulòm, nòt, ak bay fidbak, diminye travay administratif epi pèmèt yo konsantre plis sou ansèyman ak sipò dirèk.

• Fòmasyon ak Devlopman Pwofesyonèl: AI ka imite senaryo reyèl ak tout defi yo, bay yon platfòm entèaktif pou amelyore konpetans. Li kapab bay chemen aprantisaj pèsonalize tou pou devlopman pwofesyonèl.

• Entèvansyon Medikal: Zouti dyagnostik ki mache ak AI ap amelyore ak rapidite presizyon kondisyon dyagnostik. Anplis de sa, medsin pèsonalize ki fonsyone ak AI, ap pèmèt devlope yon plan tretman pèsonalize pou timoun ki gen maladi kwonik. Lè AI analize yon kantite done jenetik, li ka predi kijan yon timoun ka reponn a sèten tretman, kidonk pèfeksyone plan swen sante pou rann pi bon rezilta. Yo itilize AI tou pou ranfòse fòmasyon doktè pou pwosedi chiriji difisil ak konplike.

• Devlopman Sosyo-Emosyonèl: Yo itilize AI pou bay bezwen sosyal timoun yo sipò atravè devlopman robo sosyo ak konpayon vityèl. Teknoloji AI - sa yo ka kominike ak timoun yo, ede anseye ladrès sosyal, senpati, ak rekonesans emosyonèl.

Entèlijans atifisyèl ofri yon pakèt opsyon ak benefis pou bay fanmi ki gen timoun sipò. Lè nou eksplwate kapasite AI, nou ka bay sipò ki pi pèsonalize, ki pi angajan ak efikas pou divès bezwen timoun yo, epi ede yo pwospere nan yon mond kap vin pi konplike.

Enpak Swen Relèv

Elve yon timoun ki gen yon andikap devlopman se yon vwayaj inik. Ak tout okipasyon tankou terapi, randevou, ak defi chak jou, anpil paran di yo neglije byennèt yo. Yo santi yo fatige fizikman ak emosyonèlman. Erezman, gen anpil resous disponib nan kominote nou an pou yo pa oblije santi yo poukont yo.

Youn nan sèvis sipò sa yo se Relèv. Relèv se kankou yon ti repo medikal ki bay paran yo opòtinite rekule, rechaje, epi kòmanse pran swen tèt yo. Benefis la ale pi lwen pase repo tanporè an. Li vin gen yon enpak pozitif sou tou de paran yo ansanm ak sou atitud fanmi an.

Youn nan avantaj prensipal swen relèv se opòtinite pou paran bay sante mantal ak byennèt yo priyorite. Swen relèv pèmèt paran yo pran tan pou tèt yo, kit se pran yon apremidi anpè, angaje nan yon pastan, oswa pase tan san enteripsyon ak lòt manm fanmi an. Lè paran yo byen repoze epi refè emosyonèlman, yo ka konekte pi byen ak pitit yo, kreye yon atitud positif nan fanmi an ki ankourajan ak agreyab.

Estrès nan elve yon timoun andikape ka afekte relasyon yon koup. Diskisyon, mank kominikasyon, ak distans emosyonèl ka vin devlope ant patnè yo pandan y ap jere bezwen konplèks pitit yo. Paran timoun ki gen andikap devlòpmantal ka gen plis risk separe oswa divòse. Lè yo sèvi ak pwogram swen relèv, patnè yo gen tan pou ranfòse relasyon yo, patisipe nan aktivite yo jwi ansanm, pataje konvèsasyon san enteripsyon, epi refè koneksyon emosyonèl yo.

Pran tan pou swen tèt ou pa yon luks; li se yon nesesite pou kenbe yon sistèm familyal an sante. Rekonèt bezwen pou swen relèv se pa yon siy feblès; se rekonesans defi ki fè pati wout inik nan elve yon timoun ki gen andikap devlopmantal. Swen relèv ofri paran opòtinite ki pap fè yo santi yo koupab pou konsantre sou byennèt yo, ankouraje andurans pou pwodwi yon enpak pozitif sou kapasite

pou jere defi inik nan elve timoun. Lè paran yo envesti nan byennèt yo, yo repran wòl bay swen ak nouvo enèji e yon pèspektiv rafrechi. Sa pral jenere yon anviwònman anfanmi ki pi pozitif, e ki bay sipò kap benefisye timoun nan.

Benefis swen relèv bon pou frè ak sè tou. Souvan, ankouraje yon timoun ki gen yon andikap devlòpmantal monopolize tan ak atansyon moun kap ba l swen yo. Ant kouri prese al nan randevou epi pran swen bezwen pitit sa a chak jou, paran pa gen anpil tan konsakre pou lòt manm fanmi an. Relèv pèmèt paran dedye atansyon total yo bay lòt pitit yo. Sipò relèv ka ede priyorize bezwen ak dezi lòt frè ak sè yo.

Swen relèv se yon zouti enpòtan nan bwat zouti fanmi k ap elve yon timoun ki gen yon defisi devlòpmantal. Li se yon liy sovtaj ki pa sèlman ofri paran yo yon ti repo ki byen merite, men li ankouraje byennèt mantal ak fizik tou. Pandan sosyete a kontinye rekonèt enpòtans pou bay fanmi yo sipò nan wout inik yo, swen relèv parèt kòm yon limyè espwa ki ankouraje rezistans, konpreyansyon, epi finalman, yon inite fanmi ki pi solid, ak pi angaje.

JAFCO Children’s Ability C-enter a ouvri 7/24/365 pou bay sèvis konplè pou fanmi k ap elve yon timoun ki gen andikap devlòpmantal tankoui swen relèv sou plas lajounen ak lannwit. Tanpri, pou plis enfòmasyon pa ezite kontakte 954-315-7033.

Louvri Pòt Gerizon an: Enpòtans Chèche Èd Ki Ka Geri Ou

Otè Jeanette Balayla, MS., RMFTI., CEO - Full Time Human, LLC. ak Doris Jucht, Antrenè lavi, Espesyalis Byennèt, CFO - Full Time Human, LLC.

Nan sosyete kontanporen, lè w mansyone “terapi” souvan evoke imaj moun ki fè eksperyans sikoz grav ou maladi mantal. Sepandan, kounye an kòm gen plis konsyantizasyon sou kantite benefis li, terapi ap vin de pli zan pli aksesib pou plis moun. An jeneral, olye ke li sèlman pou moun nan sikonstans malere, kounye a yo rekonèt terapi kòm yon zouti valab pou jere estrès chak jou, amelyore relasyon, ak ankouraje kwasans pèsonèl. Move konsepsyon jeneral ki antoure terapi ap pèsiste, e sa aji kòm baryè ki anpeche moun nan bezwen jwenn sipò ak konsèy.

FO KONSEPSYON PWOBLEMATIK SOU TERAPI:

Souvan moun konprann Terapi fèt sèlman pou moun ki fè fas ak maladi mantal grav. Kontrèman ak kwayans sa a, terapi kouvri anpil kalite enkyetid, soti nan jere estrès chak jou ak adrese kondisyon ki pi entans. Yon lòt fo ide ki domine sijere majorite terapi vle di fouye nan eksperyans anfans yon moun. Sepandan, terapi gen anpil diferans ki enkòpore yon divès teknik terapetik ak apwòch ki adapte a bezwen e objektif inik chak moun. Anplis de sa, gen yon kwayans toupatou ke chèche terapi se yon siy feblès ki ensinue sèlman moun ki pa kapab jere pwoblèm yo poukont yo, se yo ki pou chwazi terapi. Nosyon sa a neglije kouraj entèn ak detèminasyon pou rekonèt lè èd nesesè, epi pran mwayen proaktif pou amelyore vi w e byennèt emosyonèl ou.

BENEFIS CHACHE TERAPI:

Nan domèn terapi, li esansyèl kreye yon espas ki an sekirite ak konfidansyèl. Isit la, nou ankouraje moun, koup, fanmi, ak gwoup eksplore panse, santiman, ak eksperyans yo san yo pa pè jijman. Tan ak espas yo entansyonèl pou bay sante mantal priyorite, ankouraje yon sans pi pwofon nan konsyans ak konpreyansyon pèsonèl. Nan anviwònman favorab sa a, yo devlope zouti ak estrateji pratik pou amelyore ladrès kominikasyon ak relasyon entèpèsonèl, pou etabli relasyon ki pi an sante. Anplis de sa, terapi ekipe moun ak enstriman pou siviv e jere defi estrès, enkyetid, emosyon ak kouraj kap pèmèt yo kontwole monte ak desann lavi

a ak detèminasyon e dignite. Pwosesis sa a fasilite kwasans ak dekouvèt pèsonèl pou kwè plis nan kwayans, valè, ak objektif ou, ki pral bay klète ak direksyon pou lavni.

Tèt An Sante – Fanmi Kap Byen Mennen

Se United Way of Broward County’s Commission on Behavioral Health & Drug Prevention ki fè prezantasyon sa a

Èske nou te konnen ke lè timoun ap viv ak tèt chaje epi estrès pandan yo piti sa ka mennen kèk chajman nan sèvo yo lè yo vin granmoun? Èske nou te konnen ke 50% moun an jeneral gen pou devlope omwen yon pwoblèm sante mantal pandan vi yo? Konsa tou, mwatye nan moun sa yo ap gen pou devlope yon pwoblèm sante mantal anvan yo rive 14 lane? Èske nou ka imajine ki valè soufrans moun te ka evite, si pedyat kap pran swen timoun 14 lane sa yo te konsilte yo pou wè kouman sante mantal yo ye? Rechèch ki fèt montre kòman prevansyon ak entèvansyon ki fèt bonè pou jèn moun ki gen pwoblèm sante mantal kapab pote bon amelyorasyon nan rezilta entèvansyon yo fè pou yo nan moman prezan an epi pi devan nan vi yo.

Anpil jèn nan kominote nou an plenyen ke paran yo pa pran pwoblèm sante mantal yo oserye. Kèk nan rezon ki lakòz sa, se estigma (oswa lawont ke anpil moun asosye a pwoblèm sante mantal), manke konesans sou sèvis ki disponib pou sa, epi ankò, aksè a sèvis sa yo. Sitiyasyon sa a lakòz anpil doulè ak soufrans. Konsa tou, sa pèmèt maladi sante mantal la devlope pi rèd kay moun nan, sa ki vin mennen, sejou nan lopital, anprizònman, sispann al lekòl, chomaj, lanmò twò bonè, izolman sosyal, move fonksyonman, pèt pwodiktivite nan travay, ak lòt pwoblèm ankò.

Depi yon jèn moun antre nan laj granmoun, pa gen anpil bagay paran ka fè pou yo; paregzanp paran pa ka fòse yo pran swen doktè apre yo fin gen 18 lane. Se yon peryòd ki difisil anpil, kidonk, se pou sa ke li enpòtan pou konvèsasyon sou zafè sante mantal ak timoun kòmanse bonè; konsa tou, li enpòtan pou pote atansyon sou emosyon ak santiman timoun yo epi pase alaksyon si gen bezwen pou sa. Sa nòmal si w pa santi w nòmal. Sa nòmal si w mande èd. Genyen èd deyò a.

Se paran ki gen prensipal enfliyans nan lavi pitit yo

Nou tout jere pwoblèm yon fason diferan. Li fasil pou sèten moun, pou yo poze san yo, epi pou yo konsantre sou sa k ap pase yo nan moman prezan yap viv la. « Ki jan mwen santi m nan moman sa a? Pou ki rezon mwen santi m fache konsa? Ki sa mwen kapab fè pou m santi m pi byen? Ki jan pitit mwen yo santi yo? » Verite a sèke lavi a kout, kidonk nou dwe pwofite jwi tank nou kapab, tout sa ki bon ladan l. Li nòmal pou yon moun mande èd. Li nòmal pou nou mande èd ; èd pou tèt nou, men tou èd pou pitit nou yo. Annou tout fè yon jan depi koulye a pou nou bay ti moun nou yo yon bèl anfans.

Kèk Ti Konsèy pou Paran

Lè nou okipe, nou gen tandans “ friz” epi bouche je nou pa rapò a vre bezwen pa nou ni bezwen moun ki bò kote nou yo. Nan moman sa yo, plis pase tout lòt lè, li enpòtan pou nou konsantre nou sou sa nou ka kontwole.

Men kèk sijesyon:

Planifye jounen w davans. Etabli yon orè familyal pou chak jou. Eseye leve nan kabann ou epi ale kouche chak jou nan menm lè a. Lè w leve, al benyen epi abiye w. Fè egzèsis. Pran yon ti tan apa pou lapriyè, fè meditasyon, fè jaden, oswa ekri sou sa kap pase nan tèt ou oswa sa w santi nan jounal vi prive w, ekst…

Pran desizyon ki bon pou sante ou. Se nan ti tan ki genyen ant lè yon bagay pase w ak reyaksyon pa w la, ke pouvwa w chita. Nan moman sa yo, se pou pran yon atitid pozitif, wè sa ki bon nan sitiyasyon wap konfwonte a, pran konfyans nan tèt ou ak nan lòt moun ki enplike yo.

Prevansyon se pwoteksyon. Bay pitit ou yo tan. Chache enfòme tèt ou sou pwoblèm ki genyen avèk alkòl, nikotin (sigarèt), mariwana ak tout lòt bagay yo rele sibstans. Sa enpòtan anpil paske pwodui chimik sa yo ka gen konsekans sou moun ki gen sèvo yo k ap devlope toujou. Sèvo yon moun devlope jiska laj 25 lane. Koute timoun yo, epi fè konvèsasyon avèk yo sou bagay ki enpòtan pou yo, san jije yo, se yon bon fason pou diminye konsomasyon alkòl ak lòt sibstans sa yo. Sa pèmèt tou retade laj yo kòmanse konsome pwodui sa yo pou premye fwa. Prevansyon mache - objektif la se mete fren nan adiksyon anvan li kòmanse.

Ann anbrase santiman nou yo. Li natirèl pafwa pou nou santi nou angwase oswa nou santi nap panike. Lè konsa, fè yon ti kanpe sou nouvèl; jwenn aktivite pou fè ak fanmi w ki pèmet ou amize w epi rilaks.

Fòk nou toujou sonje “se tout yon katye/lakou ki mete ansanm pou leve yon timoun.” Nou tout gen yon wòl nou ka jwe pou nou asire ke tout timoun nan Broward County kòmanse jwi yon bèl anfans depi koulye a.

Tank nou fè sikile enfòmasyon ki fè konnen sante mantal tout osi enpòtan ke sante fizik, se tank nap ede demonte estigma sa a. Tank nou nòmalize konvèsasyon sou sante manta,l se tank nap pèmèt moun pale epi jwenn èd yo bezwen an.

Epitou, li bon pou nou konnen ke òmonn estrès gen tandans gaye nan kò nou lè nou nan sitiyasyon ki difisil, lè nou gen tèt chaje. Menm jan tou, prezans òmonn estrès sa yo souvan nan kò nou ka pwovoke pwoblèm fizik tankou tansyon wo ak maladi kè; pwoblèm sante mantal tankou depresyon ak anksyete; epi lòt move konsekans sou sante nou an jeneral yo. Anpil sitiyasyon tankou diskriminasyon rasial, pwoblèm finansyè, ak atant ki difisil pou satisfè konn la kòz estrès sa yo ki afekte sante nou. Ann aji byen ak tèt nou epi ak lòt moun. Ann pale yon fason ki montre nou kwè nan prèv syantifik epitou nou respekte lòt moun. Ann sispann ak entimidasyon, diskriminasyon, tout sa ki koze doulè ak soufrans. Ann pote espwa nan kominote nou, nan fanmi nou ak nan lavi nou.

Si ou bezwen jwenn èd, rele nan 988 jodi an menm. Pou jwenn plis enfòmasyon, zouti, videyo edikatif, elatriye, tanpri vizite Sant Resous pou Prevansyon nan www.DrugFreeBroward.org.

Defann Kont Entimidatè & Danje Sou Entènèt: 3

Konsèy Esansyèl Pou Paran & Adolesan

Otè: Cairo Eubanks “Bringing the Globe (Menen Glòb La)”

Nan gran domèn rezo sosyo, teknoloji vin tounen yon epe de bò. Pandan li gen pouvwa pou sansibilize, ankouraje sipò pou kòz sosyal, ak kreye kominote mondyal sou entènèt, li cache tou aspè somb ki afekte entèraksyon lavi reyèl, tankou cyberentimidasyon, cyberarasman, ak menas sou entènèt ki ka ogmante men lè ou pa sou platfòm nan.

Mwen konn sa pèsonèlman paske mwen te andire yon kochma cyberarasman ki fèm pran aksyon. Poutèt eksperyans sa a mwen inisye Operasyon: STOP Cyber Harassment. Transfòmasyon mwen soti nan viktim rive nan defansè ban m bon jan konesans mwen anvi pataje pou ede paran ak adolesan navige nan mond dijital la.

Istwa Mwen: Transfòme Advèsite an Defans

An 2020, mwen te sezi pou m dekouvri ke yon malveyan te pran foto pwofil Facebook mwen epi mete l sou yon kont obsèn Instagram. Anplis de sa, malfetè ki komèt krim lan te fè anpil moun nan inivèsite mwen menm kalite bagay. Malgre efò ak pèsistans pou bloke ak rapòte l sou plizyè platfòm medya sosyal, li te pèsiste, e ak chak nouvo pwofil li chape konsekans.

Detèmine pou elimine sik arasman an, mwen mobilize plis pase 30 viktim pou yo pale. Mwen kòmanse bay lapolis rapò nan tout peyi a epi plede pou chanjman politik nan administrasyon univèsite nou an. Mwen rekonèt ensidans cyberentimidasyon tap vin pi plis nan mitan pandemi an e se sa ki vin lakòz ogmantasyon aktivite sou entènèt la. Poutèt sa mwen fonde Operasyon: STOP Cyber Harassment. Evènman inogirasyon nou an te dewoule nan mwa avril 2021 kote lapolis, edikatè, defansè sante mantal, ak lidè kominotè yo te ini. Li te atire plis pase 240 moun ki anrejistre epi solidifye #OperationSTOP kòm yon senbòl espwa pou moun ki menase anba cyberarasman.

Siy Avètisman Entimidasyon: Kle a Se Rekonesans Bonè

Pa Inyore Siy yo: Entimidasyon sou entènèt souvan kòmanse ak twonpman, Poutèt sa deteksyon bonè enpòtan anpil. Pwogram nou an bay patisipan yon espas ki an sekirite pou valide eksperyans yo epi pèmèt yo pran aksyon desizif.

Konsèy pou Elèv

Dokimante Ensidan yo: Pran foto ekran kòm prèv anvan w bloke oswa rapòte kont sispèk yo. Dokumantasyon enpòtan anpil pou rapò ak rezolisyon efikas.

Rakonte: Fas a entimidasyon sou Entènèt oswa menas sou Entènèt, san pèdi tan, rakonte sa ba yon adilt ou fè konfyans. Okòmansman evite pataje sa ak kamarad epi chèche konsèy nan men pèsonalite responsab ki konn ba w sipò.

Konnen Konnen Opsyon w Pou Bay Rapò: Pou adrese pwoblèm lan ak diskresyon Aprann kijan pou bay rapò anonim nan lekòl ou oswa sou platfòm entènèt.

Konsèy Pou Paran: Pwoteje Zòn Dijital

Pitit Ou Frekante

Sekirize Modpas: Ankouraje pitit ou pou l sèvi ak yon modpas solid, inik epi mete l ajou regilyèman pou ranfòse sekirite kont sosyo li kont vyolasyon komen.

Aplike De Faktè (2FA) Otantifikasyon: Ajoute yon dezyèm nivo pwoteksyon siplemantè lè w aktive 2FA tout kote posib pou amelyore sekirite ak dekouraje tantativ aksè san otorizasyon.

Edike ak Angaje: Pale klè ak pitit ou sou sekirite itlizasyon entènèt, mete aksan sou enpòtans verifye demann zanmi epi rekonèt tantativ vòlè idantite.

Lè nou ekipe fanmi ak zouti esansyèl sa yo, nou ka konbat cyberarasman epi ankouraje yon anviwonman dijital ki pi an sekirite pou tout moun. Ann sispann rete an silans pou pèmèt kominote nou konfwonte menas dijital dirèkteman.

Ou Kapab Prevni Pifò Blesi – Aprann Kijan Pou Kenbe Fanmi w An Sekirite

Otè Rachele Solomon, MPH, Kowòdonatè Prevansyon Blesi pou Memorial Regional ak Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Divizyon Sèvis Twomatizasyon ak Kowòdonatè Safe Kids Broward.

Blesi ki pa entansyonèl se kòz prensipal lanmò timoun laj 1-9 ane e 5yèm kòz prensipal la se timoun ki poko gen yon lane. Blesi sa yo pwovoke plis pase 3,000 lanmò chak ane pami timoun ki poko gen 10 zan, ak plis pase 2 milyon vizit nan sal ijans pou aksidan ki pa fatal. Sepandan, ak prevansyon, pifò nan blesi sa yo evitab!

Men kèk jan pou kenbe fanmi w an sekirite:

Sekirite Timoun Pasaje: Sistèm retansyon pou timoun diminye risk lanmò nan yon aksidan machin. Paran ak moun k ap bay swen ka diminye blesi yo lè yo chwazi chèz machin ki apwopriye pou pitit yo, lè yo itilize ak enstale yon chèz machin kòmsadwa, kenbe tibebe ak timoun piti yo nan sans gade dèyè jiskaske yo rive nan wotè ak pwa maksimòm chèz machin nan, epi anseye timoun yo boukle senti sekirite yo a chak fwa yo monte nan yon machin. Tcheke Safe Kids Broward pou jwenn yon lis kote ki fè enspeksyon chèz machin pou timoun https://www.safekids.org/coalition/safe-kids-broward-county

Distraksyon Sou Volan: Kondwi distrè enplike nenpòt aktivite ki detounen atansyon w nan wout la. Pa janm voye tèks oswa pale sou telefòn

selilè w pandan w ap kondwi, jere tan w pou w pa prese, konsantre sou sa w ap fè, epi

ralanti. Paran ak moun kap bay swen dwe bay yon bon egzanp, kreye règ sekirite familyal lè w pa la pou sipèvize, epi ankouraje adolesan yo anonse lè nenpòt chofè ap kondwi mal.

Sekirite Pyeton:

Timoun piti gen plis risk pou yo blese akòz danje sikilasyon. Timoun yo bezwen sipèvizyon aktif alantou sikilasyon, epi fòk yo toujou travèse lari ak yon adilt. Aprann timoun yo gade agòch, adwat, ak agòch ankò, gade chofè yo nan zye, kenbe tèt anlè, ak bese aparèy elektwonik yo pou travèse lari a. Timoun yo dwe travèse sèlman nan chemen pyeton epi mete rad klere/reflektif lè sa posib.

Sekirite Sou Wou: Kaskèt sove lavi epi redwi risk blese tèt ou apre yon aksidan bisiklèt, skoutè, oswa patinèt. Li enpòtan pou kask la byen ajiste. Fòk li byen ajiste nan tout bò, byen chita ba ak byen nivle, epi li dwe konfòtab - asire w ke bann senty lateral yo fòme yon “V” jis anba zòrèy la epi senti manton an byen sere lè w louvri bouch ou. Aprann timoun yo tcheke ekipman an, swiv règ woutyè, epi mete rad klere/reflektif lè yap woule. Sonje se ou ki pou bay bon egzanp, fò w mete kask ou chak fwa ou ap monte tou!

Dòmi an sekirite: Jiska omwen laj yon lane, ti bebe gen risk pou toufe lè y ap dòmi. Men kèk etap pou kenbe tibebe w la an sekirite pandan lap dòmi ak fè ti kabicha - mete tibebe a sou do pandan tout tan lap dòmi, sèvi ak yon matla ki byen fèm ak dra ajistab, retire tout lenn, jwèt, zòrye, ak pwoteksyon parachòk, abiye ti bebe ak yon rad bebe ki kouvri kò a, epi pataje chanm ou, pa kabann ou.

PWOTEJE TIMOUN KONT DANJE ZAM

Se yon atik Mèt Barbara Markley, yon avoka k ap defann sekirite kont danje zam poze. Li se youn nan alatèt Komite lig votè fi pou prevansyon kont vyolans ak zam nan Brawòd (ann angle: Gun Violence Prevention Committee of the League of Women Voters of Broward). Pwogram sekirite kont zam li a ki rele Fèm zam anba kle! te rive distribiye 30 000 kadna pou kenbe zam yon kote ki lòk nan Konte Brawòd.

Kounye a nan peyi Etazini pandan 2 ane suivi se zam ki plis lakòz lanmò timoun, ti jènjan ak ti jènfi – sa depase aksidan machin, maladi, pwazon, epi neye nan dlo. An mwayèn, 24 timoun ak ti jènjan ak ti jènfi pran bal chak jou epi 5.4 milyon timoun rete nan kay kote gen zam ki pa anba kle. Chif sa yo depriman epi bann nouvèl yo bay chak jou ki gen rapò ak zam ak timoun se nouvèl ki boulvèsan. Sa fasil pou w santi w pa ka fè anyen nan sitiyasyon sa a, men gen kèk bagay nou kab fè pou pwoteje pitit nou yo pou yo pa blese oswa mouri akòz yon zam:

PRAN ABITID METE ZAM ANBA KLE – Dapre Journal of the American Medical Association, abitid sere tout zam, sere zam yo san bal ladan yo, yon kote ki klete, ki pa nan menm kote bal yo ye, oubyen sere zam tou klete ak kle espesyal pou zam, se abitid ki bay pwoteksyon pou evite yon zam ta pati sanzatann epi pou evite ka kote ti jènjan, ti jènfi ak timoun ta eseye touye tèt yo.

Kat metòd sa yo: klete zam nan, pa kite bal ladan, mete bal yo yon kote ki klete epi pa mete bal yo menm kote ou met zam nan, tout se fason ki bay pwoteksyon epi ki redui kalite trajedi sa yo nan kay ki gen timoun, ti jènjan ak ti jènfi.

Gen de fwa plis chans pou gen yon omisid nan kay ki gen zam ki pa anba kle, gen twa fwa plis chans pou yon moun touye tèt li nan kay la, epi gen senk fwa plis chans pou yon moun tire yon lòt nan ka vyolans domestik. Mete zam anba kle sove lavi.

ANVAN YON TIMOUN AL JWE KAY YON LÒT – Mande paran an si l gen zam nan kay la. Si paran an di wi, mande si zam nan yon kote ki klete epi bal yo klete yon lòt kote. Non sèlman sa ap pwoteje lavi pitit ou, men w ap montre lòt paran aprann poze kesyon sa a tou, ki fè yo menm tou y ap pwoteje pitit pa yo kont dega zam ka lakòz. Menm si pitit ou pral kay yon fanmi, sa enpòtan pou w mande si gen zam nan kay la.

Menm si pitit ou ap kòmanse lekòl fondamantal, sa enpòtan pou w mande si gen zam nan kay kote l prale a. Aprann pitit ou pou yo di yon granmoun sa tousuit, si yo wè yon timoun gen mwayen pou l met men l sou yon zam.

APRANN SA SIY DEPRESYON YO YE – Men kèk siy depresyon: tanperaman moun nan chanje souvan, li pa dòmi ase oubyen l dòmi twòp, moun nan santi l izole oubyen li santi l pa vo anyen. Si ou sispèk pitit ou deprime, sa enpòtan anpil pou w wete tou sa ki kab reprezante yon danje pou li nan kay la, bagay tankou medikaman, zam a fe ak lòt kalite zam, pwazon epi apre sa chèche yon pwofesyonèl sante mantal ki gen lisans pou ede timoun nan. Gen kèk resous nan kominote a ki disponib pou ede yon timoun oswa yon ti jènjan, yon ti jènfi ki

deprime, tankou sèvis 2-1-1 Broward (telefone 211), voye tèks mesaj nan 988, gen konseye lekòl yo, sa se kèk nan resous yo. Lide pou yon moun touye tèt li anpil fwa yo pa dire lontan, se yon kriz ki lakòz yon moun eseye epi nèf moun sou dis moun ki eseye touye tèt yo men ki pa reyisi p ap janm eseye ankò. Men pa bliye desizyon yon moun pran pou l touye tèt li se yon desizyon moun nan pran britsoukou, se yon desizyon moun nan pran nan mwens pase inèdtan epi pafwa menm nan senk minit. Se pou rezon sa a, sa enpòtan anpil pou wete tout sa ki danjere pre timoun nan oswa pre ti jènjan an, ti jènfi a.

MEN KÈK LÒT BAGAY OU KA FÈ POU W PWOTEJE PITIT OU KONT

ZAM – Nan peyi Etazini yo vòlè yon zam chak 90 segonn, ki fè moun vòlè 250 mil zam chak ane – sa se ase zam pou komèt tout krim yo rapòte chak ane ki fèt ak zam. Timoun ak ti jènjan, ti jènfi pa gen dwa pou yo achte zam legalman, men anpil fwa yo konn pran zam moun pa mete an sekirite, anndan kèk machin. Lè w enfòme lòt moun sou danje zam yo pa mete an sekirite ka lakòz, non sèlman sa pwoteje oumenm ak fanmi ou, men sa pwoteje vwazen ou ak zanmi ou tou. Dapre F.B.I, uit moun sou dis ki al tire nan yon lekòl sèvi ak yon zam yo jwenn lakay yo oswa lakay yon fanmi.

Valè moun ki mouri anba bal rive nan yon nivo li pa janm rive anvan: 48 mil moun pa ane epi 65% nan lanmò sa yo se ka moun ki suiside tèt yo; nou tout dwe pòte plis atansyon, nou dwe edike tèt nou plis sou kesyon pwoteksyon nan afè zam, epi fò nou fè plis efò nan prevansyon kont zam ki ap tire timoun.

Konsèy sou fason ou ka pale ak timoun osijè lanmò yon fanmi

Otè: Julissa Reynoso, LMHC, Direktris Pwogramasyon, Daniel Sheridan, Ph.D., Konseye Klinik e Fòmasyon nan sant Children’s Bereavement Center

Dapre estimasyon yo fè, nan Eta Florid sou chak 12 timoun youn ap viv esperyans lanmò yon paran oswa yon frè oswa yon sè anvan yo gen 18 an (Judi’s House, 2022). Met sou sa, 5825 moun mouri nan Broward County akòz COVID-19 nan dènye de ane ki sot pase yo. Paran ak moun ki responsab legal timoun ka pwofite sèvi ak enfòmasyon sa yo pou yo pale ak pitit yo epi bay timoun yo sipò yo bezwen lè y ap viv move moman sa yo.

Reflechi: Tout efò pou ede pitit ou dwe kòmanse ak yon refleksyon pèsonèl. Timoun sansib lè yo wè granmoun anba estrès, lè konsa yo pa di sa yo genyen pou yo pa deranje lòt moun.

Evalye: Lè w ap pale ak yon timoun de yon fanmi ki mouri, si w konprann sa yo konnen deja, sa kab ede w kadre konvèsasyon an. Lè w poze kesyon, sa ede yo fè w konfyans epi sa ede yo reyalize ou bay opinyon yo enpòtans, menm lè ou pa dakò avè yo.

Koute: Koute ki lide, ki nesesite ak ki santiman ki dèyè sa y ap di w yo. Pandan w ap koute pitit ou, idantifye sa yo di ki pa laverite konsa w ap ka ba yo enfòmasyon ki kòrèk.

Pale: Timoun benefisye de enfòmasyon ou ba yo ki onèt, ki klè, epi ki apwopriye pou laj yo. Lè w pa ba yo enfòmasyon, sa kab ajoute sou angwas yo deja genyen tou natirèlman, epi sa kab ba yo enpresyon ou pa menm ka pale de bagay yo si tèlman yo grav. An jeneral, plis timoun nan piti, se plis esplikasyon ou ba yo a dwe senp. Sa toujou pi bon pou w kenbe koze yo senp epi konkrè. Si yon timoun gen plis kesyon, ou kab ba yo plis ransèyman. Se va yon konvèsasyon k ap kontinye. Sa pa pral fèt, epi sa pa oblije fèt yon sèl kou.

Trase egzanp: Lè w pataje santiman pa ou, epi lè w onèt konsènan emosyon ou genyen yo, sa trase bon egzanp pou timoun. Fè yo konnen pa gen poblèm montre santiman yo…. paregzanp, lè n kriye souvan, sa fè nou santi n pi byen. Lè timoun wè jan w fè fas a sèten sitiyasyon yo kab benefisye de sa. Lè w kache santiman ou sa ba yo enpresyon nou pa pale de bagay ki difisil. Si ou gen difikilte pou w jere santiman ou, chèche yon kote ki kab ede w.

Kenbe yon lespri ouvè: Timoun repete kesyon yo genyen konsènan lanmò souvan paske y ap eseye konprann. Konpreyansyon yo kab yon jan limite

akòz nivo devlopman mantal yo. Yo kab menm montre yon kiryozite sinist konsènan detay yo. Pa bliye kiryozite yo pa gen entansyon fè okenn moun mal oswa ennève pesonn. Pare pou reponn menm kesyon yo plizyè fwa, epi toujou bay menm repons yo. Apre yon lanmò oswa yon sitiyasyon kritik, anpil timoun ak granmoun ap chèche konprann epi yo vle rasire yo y ap an sekirite.

Ou ka pa genyen tout repons yo, sitou pou “gwo” kesyon timoun poze tankou “Poukisa” Anpil fwa, meyè repons lan se “Ki sa ou panse?” Kesyon sa a ouvè pòt konvèsasyon an epi sa kab ba w yon lide sou ki enkyetid yo genyen epi ki sa yo bezwen.

Pwoteksyon: Lè w fè timoun tande istwa oswa wè imaj konsènan moun ki mouri oswa move bagay ki pase tout tan oswa yon fason repete, sa kapab twòp pou yo. Timoun pi piti ka panse foto yo wè ak nouvèl yo tande anpil fwa se pa menm nouvèl yo epi danje a toujou la. Lè w fè nouvèl twòp, sa kab lakòz ou estrese tou epi moun nan antouraj ou ap wè sa tou. Konsantre sou sa ou kab kontwole. Sa ka yon opòtinite pou w diskite plan ki la pou pwoteksyon ak sa fanmi an ak kominote a dwe fè nan ka ijan.

Rete veyatif: Se yon bagay ki komen pou timoun santi yo dezoryante, enkyete, epi pou yo gen difikilte pòte atansyon oubyen konsantre apre yo pèdi yon moun oswa apre yon bagay grav rive. Kèk timoun ka ajite, ennève, aladefansif oswa yo met kò yo apa. Timoun nan kab vin pè lè yon fanmi ap deplase epi tanzantan timoun nan kab gen yon konpòtman regresif tankou souse dwèt oswa pipi nan kabann. Se yon bagay ki komen pou timoun santi yo gen enkyetid konsènan sa k te pase a epi kouman sa pral aji sou yo. Si timoun nan t ap byen boule anvan kriz la, ou mèt atann ou tout bagay ap retounen nan plas yo nan kèk semenn.

Mentni yon woutin: Woutin se yon estrateji ki itil anpil paske anpil bagay chanje nan lavi yon timoun ki gen moun mouri. Antan paran oswa moun ki responsab legal yon timoun, eseye etabli yon woutin ak abitid timoun nan ka prevwa chak jou valè w kapab. Si ajisteman sa yo ta pran plis tan, yo rekòmande w kontakte yon konseye ki kab ede w.

Chèche sipò: Gen tout yon seri resous ak òganizasyon ki disponib pou bay moun kout men lè yo gen fanmi ki mouri. Antre an kontak epi konekte ak zanmi ak fanmi, se bagay ki enpòtan anpil pandan dèy la. Kounye a sitou pesonn pa dwe nan lapenn pou kont yo.

Si ou menm oubyen yon moun ou konnen gen yon moun ki mouri, Sant pou ede timoun ki gen moun mouri ki rele “Children’s Bereavement Center” ofri sipò an gwoup pou moun ki nan lapenn GRATIS pou timoun, ti jennjan ak ti jennfi ak jèn yo tou ak tout fanmi yo nan tout zòn Sit Florid la epi yo ofri sèvis la anliy pou moun ki rete nan tout peyi a.

Um apelo à ação: torne-se um pai adotivo

Embora muitos possam estar cientes do sistema de assistência social, poucos realmente entendem o licenciamento obrigatório e o processo do estado e o papel vital dos pais adotivos. Os pais adotivos são parte integrante da cura de traumas infantis e manter a ligação da criança com a sua família biológica. As agências de acolhimento oferecem a oportunidade para você ser essa mudança, uma oportunidade de receber os treinamentos necessários e apoio contínuo do DCF, uma vez que as crianças são colocadas em sua casa. O acolhimento, pela sua própria natureza, procura proporcionar estabilidade, apoio e amor as crianças que enfrentaram adversidades sem culpa própria. Como potencial pai adotivo, você é posicionada de forma única para oferecer um ambiente seguro e estável a uma criança, de 0 a 17 anos, que passou por os traumas da separação de suas famílias biológicas. Agências de acolhimento fornecem apoio contínuo e supervisão aos seus pais adotivos licenciados.

A decisão de se tornar um pai adotivo não deve ser tomada de ânimo leve. É um chamado que requer altruísmo, paciência, compaixão e um compromisso inabalável desde o primeiro dia de treinamento e estendido desde o dia em que uma criança chega à sua casa até o dia em que o tribunal determina que a criança irá embora da sua casa. As agências de acolhimento reconhecem que este esforço não está isento de desafios. As crianças necessitadas de cuidados muitas vezes apresentam traumas complexos que se manifestam como problemas emocionais e comportamentais.

Esses comportamentos são uma expressão de uma necessidade não

Num mundo que muitas vezes parece frio e indiferente, existe uma oportunidade para fazermos a diferença.

satisfeita. As agências de assistência social têm indivíduos trabalhando como parte de a equipe profissional que fornece apoio e supervisão adicionais a todas as famílias adotivas e à(s) criança(s) em sua casa.

As aulas de treinamento para pãis ãdotivos são “O que esperãr quãndo você está esperãndo um filho ãdotivo Criança”. Agências de acolhimento oferecem treinamentos e inspeções domiciliares. Eles podem responder a quaisquer perguntas ou preocupações à medida que surgirem.

As estatísticas em torno do sistema de assistência social podem ser esmagadoras. De acordo com as Crianças Bureau, em qualquer dia, há quase 440 mil crianças em lares adotivos nos Estados Unidos. Isso é reduzido para mais de 1.800 crianças somente no condado de Broward. Um investigador de proteção infantil pode decidir remover uma criança de seus cuidadores se ela tiver sofrido alguma forma de abuso, abandono ou negligência. Suas vidas são instantaneamente marcadas pela instabilidade e pela incerteza. Você tem o poder de mudar esta narrativa. Ao se tornar um pai adotivo, você oferece à criança uma sensação de conforto, uma rotina diária consistente e uma oportunidade de curar e crescer. É uma oportunidade de nutrir a sua resiliência face à adversidade.

O impacto de um pai adotivo vai além da criança individualmente. Seus esforços podem levar a um futuro melhor para as crianças que você recebe em sua casa. Sua decisão de se tornar um pai adotivo pode ser um momento decisivo na vida de uma criança.

Perguntas frequentes sobre assistência social

O que é acolhimento?

Acolhimento destina-se a prestar cuidados temporários a crianças e jovens que foram afastados da sua família de origem. Os motivos para remoção podem incluir abuso, negligência ou abandono. O principal objetivo do acolhimento é reunir o jovem com sua família ou parente.

Há realmente necessidade de pais adotivos no condado de Broward?

Sim existe! Atualmente, há mais de 1.800 crianças colocadas sob cuidados licenciados no Condado de Broward e não há número suficiente de casas para acomodar todos eles. Cada um dos nossos filhos precisa de uma família que esteja disposta a dar-lhes um estável, lar amoroso e consistente até alcançarem a permanência.

Quais são os requisitos para se tornar um pai adotivo?

Um pai adotivo é um adulto seguro e estável na comunidade. Um pai adotivo deve ter pelo menos 21 anos de idade, passar por uma verificação de antecedentes e conclusão dos treinamentos necessários. Um pai adotivo deve ter renda suficiente para satisfazer suas despesas correntes e ter espaço no quarto para um filho adotivo. Um filho adotivo não pode dividir o quarto com um adulto. Os pais adotivos não precisam ter casa própria. Um pai adotivo não precisa ter paternidade anterior como experiência. Um treinador apoiará qualquer pessoa interessada em inscrever-se nas aulas de formação pré-serviço e preenchendo a documentação necessária. Um especialista em licenciamento concluirá o processo de estudo em casa. Acima de tudo, os pais adotivos devem ser indivíduos que cuidam com paciência e compaixão pelos traumas passados de seus filhos com experiência.

Conhecerei a criança antes de ela ser colocada em minha casa?

Não. Devido à rapidez com que geralmente é necessária uma colocação para uma criança, não será possível conhecer os jovens. No entanto, sua agência de licenciamento fornecerá informações sobre o perfil da criança, incluindo traumas anteriores e necessidades específicas da criança. Um pai adotivo decidirá aceitar uma criança em sua casa com base nas informações fornecidas pela agência licenciada. Você pode expressar uma preferência de idade e sexo como parte de uma consideração de correspondência.

O filho adotivo pode frequentar a escola que meus filhos frequentam?

Agora é lei federal que sejam feitas todas as tentativas para que as crianças permaneçam na escola de origem. Condado de Broward Conselho Escolar trabalha com o sistema de assistência social para encaminhar um ônibus escolar e fazer acomodações para cada criança adotada.

Quanto tempo um filho adotivo ficará em minha casa?

Há muitos fatores a serem considerados e realmente não há como saber por quanto tempo uma criança pode ser colocada em sua casa. Um pai adotivo se compromete a cuidar de cada criança que entra em sua casa até que a permanência possa ser alcançada para eles. Portanto, encorajamos você a tornar qualquer criança adotiva parte da família. Isto significa incluí-los em férias em família, atividades extracurriculares e outras atividades familiares. cada criança é um adulto atencioso perto de ser uma história de sucesso.

O impacto dos cuidados temporários

Criar uma criança com deficiência de desenvolvimento é uma jornada única. No turbilhão das terapias, compromissos e desafios diários, muitos pais relatam negligenciar seu bem-estar e sente-se esgotado físico e emocionalmente. Felizmente, existem numerosos recursos disponíveis em nossa comunidade para que os pais não se sintam sozinhos.

O descanso é um desses serviços de apoio. O descanso é entendido como uma pausa clínica que dá aos pais a oportunidade de dar um passo atrás, recarregar as baterias e se envolver em práticas de autocuidado. Os benefícios vão muito além a uma pausa momentânea, impactando positivamente ambos os pais e, em última instância, toda a dinâmica familiar.

Uma das principais vantagens dos cuidados temporários é a oportunidade para os pais priorizarem seus problemas mentais saúde e bem-estar. Os cuidados temporários permitem que os pais tenham tempo para si mesmos – seja desfrutar de uma tarde tranquila, praticar um hobby ou simplesmente ter tempo sem interrupção para outros membros da família. Quando os pais estão bem descansados e emocionalmente reabastecidos, eles podem se conectar melhor com sua criança, criando uma dinâmica familiar mais estimulante e harmoniosa.

Os fatores estressantes de criar um filho com deficiência podem prejudicar o relacionamento do casal. Disputas, falhas de comunicação e distância emocional entre parceiros podem se desenvolver à medida que eles navegam as complexas necessidades de seu filho. Os pais de crianças com deficiências de desenvolvimento podem enfrentar um maior risco de separação ou divórcio. A utilização de cuidados temporários concede aos parceiros tempo para fortalecer seu relacionamento engajando-se em atividades de que gostam juntos, compartilhando conversas ininterruptas e reconstruindo suas conexão emocional.

Reservar um tempo para cuidar de si não é um luxo; é uma necessidade para manter um sistema familiar saudável. Reconhecer a necessidade de cuidados temporários não é um sinal de fraqueza; é um reconhecimento

dos desafios inerente à jornada única de criar uma criança com deficiência de desenvolvimento. Ofertas de cuidados temporários aos pais é uma oportunidade sem culpa de se concentrarem no seu bem-estar, promovendo a resiliência que impacta positivamente sua capacidade de navegar pelos desafios únicos de criar os filhos. Quando os pais investem no seu bem-estar, eles retornam ao seu papel de cuidadores com energia renovada e uma perspectiva renovada. Isso contribui para um ambiente familiar mais positivo e solidário, beneficiando a criança

Os benefícios dos cuidados temporários também se estendem aos irmãos. Cuidando de uma criança com deficiência de desenvolvimento muitas vezes monopoliza o tempo e o foco dos cuidadores. Entre correr para vários compromissos e atendendo às necessidades diárias dos filhos, os pais têm pouco tempo para dedicar a outros membros da família.

A pausa permite que os pais dediquem atenção total aos outros filhos. Com o apoio descanso, as necessidades e desejos dos irmãos podem ser priorizados.

Os cuidados temporários são uma ferramenta importante na caixa de ferramentas das famílias que criam uma criança com deficiência de desenvolvimento. É uma tábua de salvação que não só oferece aos pais uma pausa bem merecida, mas também promove o desenvolvimento mental e físico. À medida que a sociedade continua a reconhecer a importância de apoiar as famílias nas suas jornadas, os cuidados temporários emergem como um farol de esperança, promovendo a resiliência, a compreensão e, em última análise, uma unidade familiar mais forte e mais engajada.

O JAFCO Children’s Ability C-enter está aberto 24/7/365 para fornecer serviços abrangentes às famílias que criam uma criança com deficiência de desenvolvimento. Isso inclui cuidados temporários diurnos e noturnos no local. Sinta-se à vontade para entrar em contato com 954-315-7033 para obter mais informações.

Abrindo a porta para a cura: A importância de procurar ajuda terapêutica

Escrito por Jeanette Balayla, MS., RMFTI., CEO - Full Time Human, LLC. e Doris Jucht, treinadora de vida, Especialista em Bem-Estar, CFO - Full Time Human, LLC.

Na sociedade contemporânea, a menção de “terapia” muitas vezes evoca imagens de indivíduos que vivenciam psicose grave ou doença mental. No entanto, à medida que cresce a consciência em torno dos seus inúmeros benefícios, a terapia está se tornando cada vez mais acessível e compreensível para mais pessoas, em geral, em vez de ser reservada exclusivamente para aqueles em circunstâncias infelizes, a terapia é agora reconhecida como uma ferramenta valiosa para gerenciar os estressores diários, melhorar os relacionamentos e promover o crescimento pessoal.

No entanto, persistem equívocos gerais em torno da terapia, agindo como barreiras que impedem que os indivíduos tenham acesso ao apoio e à orientação de que possam necessitar.

EQUÍVOCOS PROBLEMÁTICOS SOBRE TERAPIA:

A terapia é frequentemente mal interpretada como sendo destinada exclusivamente a indivíduos que enfrentam problemas mentais graves. Contrariamente a esta crença, a terapia abrange um amplo espectro de preocupações, que vão desde gerenciar os estressores diários para lidar com condições mais agudas. Outro equívoco predominante sugere que a terapia gira predominantemente em torno do aprofundamento das experiências da infância. No entanto, a terapia é muito mais sutil, incorporando uma gama diversificada de técnicas terapêuticas e abordagens adaptadas às necessidades e objetivos únicos de cada pessoa. Além disso, existe uma generalizada mito de que procurar terapia é indicativo de fraqueza, insinuando que somente aqueles que são incapazes de gerenciar seus problemas de forma independente optariam pela terapia. Esta noção ignora o inerente coragem e resiliência necessárias para reconhecer quando a ajuda é necessária e tomar medidas proativas para autoaperfeiçoamento e bem-estar emocional.

BENEFÍCIOS DE PROCURAR TERAPIA:

No âmbito da terapia, criar um espaço seguro e confidencial é fundamental. Aqui, indivíduos, casais, famílias e grupos são

incentivados a explorar seus pensamentos, sentimentos e experiências sem medo de julgamento. O tempo e o espaço são intencionalmente criados para priorizar a saúde mental, promovendo uma visão mais profunda. senso de autoconsciência e insight. Dentro deste ambiente de apoio, ferramentas e estratégias práticas são desenvolvidos para melhorar a comunicação e as habilidades interpessoais, estabelecendo as bases para uma vida mais saudável nos relacionamentos. Além disso, a terapia equipa os indivíduos com mecanismos de enfrentamento para gerenciar eficazmente estresse, ansiedade e emoções desafiadoras, capacitando-os a navegar pelos altos e baixos da vida com resiliência e graça. Através deste processo, o crescimento pessoal e a autodescoberta são facilitados, bem como os indivíduos mergulham em suas crenças, valores e objetivos, ganhando clareza e direção para o futuro. Em última análise, a terapia catalisa mudanças positivas, capacitando os indivíduos a se libertarem de situações prejudiciais à saúde e superar lutas passadas e presentes com o apoio e a orientação de que necessitam para prosperar.

DANDO O PRIMEIRO PASSO:

Procurar terapia pode parecer assustador, mas também é um ato de coragem e autocuidado. Mesmo o menor passo, como fazer a primeira ligação para um recurso terapêutico, pode colocá-lo no caminho em direção a uma vida mais saudável e mais plena. Lembre-se, o progresso é feito um passo de cada vez, e cada passo que você dá em direção a priorizar sua saúde mental é um passo na direção certa. Vale a pena investir no seu bemestar mental e você merece viver uma vida plena e equilibrada.

Epílogo:

Situada no condado de Broward, Full Time Human é uma luz orientadora, fundada por mãe e filha equipe, Doris Jucht e Jeanette Balayla, apaixonadas pelo bem-estar holístico.

Infâncias Sensacionais – Mentes

Saudáveis – Famílias Bem-Sucedidas

Enviado por: Comissão para Saúde Comportamental e Prevenção de Drogas da United Way of Broward County

Você sabia que o estresse infantil pode deixar alterações no cérebro adulto? Você sabia que 50% das pessoas desenvolverão ao menos uma doença mental durante as suas vidas? E metade dessas pessoas irão desenvolver uma doença mental até os 14 anos de idade? Você pode imaginar a quantidade de sofrimento que pode ser evitado se essas pessoas de 14 anos tivessem feito check-ups de saúde mental com seus pediatras? Pesquisas revelam que a prevenção e a intervenção precoce em jovens com doenças mentais pode melhorar drasticamente resultados em médio e longo prazo.

Muitos jovens da nossa comunidade queixam-se que os seus pais não levam a sério as suas preocupações de saúde mental. O estigma, a falta de conhecimento e o fraco acesso aos serviços são algumas das possíveis razões. E as consequências resultam em dor, sofrimento, progressão de perturbações de saúde mental, hospitalizações, encarceramentos, abandono escolar, desemprego, morte prematura, isolamento social, mau funcionamento, perda de produtividade e muito mais.

Quando o jovem atinge a idade adulta não há muito que os pais possam fazer; os pais não podem forçá-los a obter atenção médica depois que atingem os dezoito anos de idade. É um ciclo verdadeiramente doloroso e essa é a razão pela qual é tão importante iniciar conversações desde cedo, prestar atenção às emoções e sentimentos das crianças e agir. Não tem problema não estar bem. Não tem problema pedir ajuda. Existe ajuda lá fora.

Os pais são a primeira influência na vida dos filhos

Todos nós lidamos com as situações de maneira diferente. Para algumas pessoas, é fácil desacelerar e se concentrar em estar presente no momento. “Como eu me sinto agora? Por que estou sentindo tanta raiva? O que eu posso fazer para me sentir melhor? Como os meus filhos pequenos estão se sentindo?” Na verdade, a vida é curta e precisamos vivê-la da melhor maneira possível. Não tem problema pedir ajuda, não somente para nós, mas também para os nossos filhos. Vamos fazer com que uma ótima infância, aconteça agora!

Há alguns ótimos recursos gratuitos que podem ser acessados. Eles incluem o seguinte:

Dicas para pais

Quando estamos ocupados, tendemos a ficar insensíveis às nossas verdadeiras necessidades e às necessidades daqueles que nos rodeiam. Agora, mais do que nunca, é importante nos concentrarmos no que podemos controlar.

Vejam algumas sugestões:

Planeje o seu dia com antecedência. Desenvolva uma rotina diária com a família. Acorde e vá dormir todos os dias no mesmo horário. Tome uma ducha e vista-se. Faça exercícios. Separe um tempinho para fazer oração, meditação, jardinagem, ler revistas etc.

Faça escolhas saudáveis. A sua força encontra-se no espaço entre alguma coisa que acontece e a sua reação. Escolha ser positivo, veja o lado bom das coisas, tenha fé em si mesmo e nos outros e peça apoio.

Prevenção é proteção. Passe algum tempo com seus filhos. Conheça os fatos sobre álcool, nicotina, maconha ou outras substâncias, especialmente porque esses produtos químicos podem ter consequências no cérebro em desenvolvimento. O cérebro humano se desenvolve até os 25 anos de idade. Ouvir as crianças e ter conversas significativas sem julgá-las reduz o uso de álcool e outras substâncias e atrasa a idade do primeiro uso. A prevenção funciona – o objetivo é acabar com o vício antes que ele comece.

Vamos abraçar nossos sentimentos. É natural às vezes sentir-se ansioso e assustado. Faça uma pausa nas notícias e participe de atividades familiares divertidas e relaxantes. Lembremo-nos de que “é preciso uma aldeia para criar uma criança”. Todos nós podemos desempenhar um papel para garantir que uma ótima infância comece agora a acontecer para todas as crianças do Condado de Broward. Vamos quebrar o estigma partilhando o fato de que a saúde mental é tão essencial como a saúde física. Normalizar a conversa sobre saúde mental permite que as pessoas falem e obtenham a ajuda de que necessitam. Também devemos estar cientes de que os hormônios do estresse são liberados durante situações exigentes, e a presença frequente desses hormônios do estresse pode levar a problemas físicos como hipertensão e doenças cardíacas; condições de saúde mental como depressão e ansiedade; e maus resultados na saude geral. Racismo, problemas financeiros e grandes expectativas também são fatores de stress que afetam a nossa saúde. Sejamos gentis conosco e com os outros. Vamos conversar de uma forma que reflita as evidências científicas e demonstre respeito. Vamos acabar com o bullying, a discriminação, a dor e o sofrimento. Vamos levar esperança às nossas comunidades, às nossas famílias e às nossas vidas.

Defenda-se contra cyberbullies e Perigos Online: 3 Dicas Essenciais para pais e filhos Adolescentes

No domínio expansivo das redes sociais, a tecnologia tornou-se uma faca de dois gumes. Enquanto ela tem o poder de aumentar a conscientização, promover o apoio a causas sociais e criar comunidades, também abriga aspectos mais sombrios, como cyberbullying, cyberstalking e online ameaças que podem escalar para off-line, afetando as interações da vida real.

Eu sei disso em primeira mão, tendo passado por um pesadelo de assédio cibernético que me impulsionou a agir. Dessa experiência surgiu a Operação: STOP Cyber Harassment. Minha transformação de vítima para defender rendeu insights inestimáveis, que estou ansiosa para compartilhar para ajudar pais e adolescentes na navegação no cenário digital.

Minha história: transformando adversidade em defesa de direitos

Em 2020, fiquei chocada ao descobrir que minha foto de perfil do Facebook havia sido maliciosamente republicado em uma conta obscena do Instagram. Além do mais, muitas pessoas da minha faculdade enfrentou alvos semelhantes pelo mesmo perpetrador. Apesar dos esforços incansáveis para bloquear e denunciá-lo em várias plataformas de mídia social, ele persistiu, ivadindo as consequências com cada novo perfil. Determinado a quebrar o ciclo de assédio, mobilizei mais de 30 vítimas para falar, iniciando relatórios policiais em todo o país e defendendo mudanças nas políticas dentro da administração de nossa faculdade.

Reconhecendo a crescente prevalência do cyberbullying em meio ao aumento induzido pela pandemia com a atividade on-line, fundei a Operação: STOP Cyber Harassment. Nosso evento inaugural em abril 2021 uniu autoridades policiais, educadores, defensores da saúde mental e líderes comunitários, atraindo mais de 240 inscritos e solidificando #OperationSTOP como um símbolo de esperança para aqueles enredados pelo assédio cibernético.

Sinais de alerta de bullying: o reconhecimento precoce é fundamental

Não ignore os sinais: o cyberbullying muitas vezes começa de forma sutil, tornando a deteção precoce crucial. Nossos programas oferecem aos participantes um espaço seguro para validar suas experiências e capacitá-los a tomar medidas decisivas.

Dicas para estudantes

Documente incidentes: capture evidências fazendo capturas de tela antes de bloquear ou denunciar contas suspeitas. A documentação é vital para relatórios eficazes e resolução.

Manifeste-se: Diante de cyberbullying ou ameaças online, confie em um adulto de confiança prontamente. Evite compartilhar inicialmente com colegas e buscar orientação de figuras de apoio.

Conheça suas opções de denúncia: familiarize-se com denúncias anônimas canais em sua escola ou plataformas online para resolver problemas discretamente.

Dicas para pais: protegendo o espaço digital do seu filho

Senhas seguras: incentive seu filho a usar senhas fortes e exclusivas e a atualizar regularmente para fortalecer a segurança da conta contra violações comuns.

A maioria das lesões são evitáveis – Aprenda como manter sua família segura

Por Rachele Solomon, MPH, Coordenadora de Prevenção de Lesões do Memorial Regional e Joe DiMaggio Coordenador de Hospitais Infantis, Divisão de Serviços de Trauma e Safe Kids Broward.

Lesões não intencionais são a principal causa de morte em crianças de 1 a 9 anos de idade e a quinta causa principal em crianças menores de um ano. Lesões não intencionais resultam em mais de 3.000 mortes por ano em crianças menores de 10 anos e mais de 2 milhões de atendimentos de emergência por lesões não fatais. Entretanto, a maioria dessas lesões é evitável! Aqui estão algumas maneiras de manter sua família segura:

Segurança do passageiro infantil: Os sistemas de retenção para crianças diminuem o risco de morte em um acidente de veículo motorizado. Pais e os cuidadores podem reduzir lesões escolhendo a cadeirinha certa para seus filhos, usando e instalando uma cadeirinha corretamente, mantendo bebês e crianças pequenas voltados para trás até atingirem a altura e o peso máximos da cadeirinha do carro e ensinar as crianças a apertar o cinto toda vez que andam de carro. Verifique o Safe Kids Broward para obter um lista de locais de inspeção de assentos de carro no site (https://www.safekids.org/coalition/safe-kids-broward-county).

Dirigir distraído: Dirigir distraído envolve qualquer atividade que desvie sua atenção da estrada. Nunca envie mensagens de texto ou fale ao celular enquanto dirige, administre seu tempo para não ter pressa, concentre-se no que você está fazendo e diminua a velocidade. Os pais e cuidadores devem dar um bom exemplo, crie regras de segurança familiar quando você não estiver presente para supervisionar e incentive seus filhos adolescentes a falarem quando algum motorista está dirigindo de forma insegura.

Segurança de pedestres: As crianças pequenas correm maior risco de lesões devido aos perigos do trânsito. As crianças deveriam ser supervisionadas ativamente em torno do trânsito e sempre atravesse a rua com um adulto. Ensine as crianças a olhar para a esquerda, à direita e à esquerda novamente, faça contato visual com os motoristas e mantenha a cabeça erguida e os dispositivos abaixados ao cruzar a rua. As crianças só devem atravessar na faixa de pedestres e usar roupas brilhantes/refletivas quando possível.

Segurança sobre rodas: Capacetes salvam vidas e reduzem o risco de ferimentos na cabeça após andar de bicicleta, scooter ou acidente de skate. É importante que o capacete se ajuste corretamente. Os capacetes devem estar bem ajustados, sentar-se abaixados e nivelado e confortável - certifique-se de que as tiras laterais formem um “V” logo abaixo da orelha e que a tira do queixo esteja confortável quando você abre bem a boca. Ensine as crianças a verificar o equipamento, seguir as regras de trânsito, e use roupas brilhantes/refletivas ao andar. Lembre-se de ser um bom modelo e usar seu capacete toda vez que você anda também!

Sono seguro: Até pelo menos um ano de idade, os bebês correm o risco de sufocamento enquanto dormem. Aqui estão alguns passos para manter seu bebê seguro enquanto ele dorme e cochila – coloque o bebê de costas durante todos os momentos de sono, use um colchão firme e lençol justo, remova todos os cobertores, brinquedos, travesseiros e protetores de pára-choque, vista o bebê com um vestível cobertor ou macacão e compartilhe seu quarto, não sua cama.

MANTENDO AS CRIANÇAS A SALVO DE ARMAS

Por Bárbara Markley, abogado, defensora de la seguridad de las armas y copresidenta del Comité de Prevención de la Violencia Armada de la Liga de Mujeres Votantes del Condado de Broward. Su programa de seguridad de armas, Lock it Up! ha distribuido 30.000 candados gratuitos en el Condado de Broward.

Por Barbara Markley, advogada, defensora de segurança contra armas e CoPresidente da Comissão de Prevenção de Violência por Armas da League of Women Voters [Liga de Eleitoras] de Broward. Seu programa de segurança contra armas Lock it Up! [Trave-a!] já distribuiu 30.000 cadeados de armas gratuitamente no Condado de Broward.

Atualmente, as armas são a causa principal de mortes de crianças e adolescentes americanos, ultrapassando acidentes de automóveis, doenças, envenenamentos e afogamentos pelo segundo ano consecutivo. Em média, vinte e duas crianças e adolescentes são baleados todos os dias e 5,4 milhões de crianças vivem em lares com armas destravadas. Esta é uma estatística desoladora, e um fluxo permanente de novas histórias envolvendo crianças e armas pode parecer arrasador. Embora seja fácil sentir-se desamparado a respeito da situação atual, há medidas que você pode tomar para proteger seus filhos contra ferimentos e mortes por armas:

PRATIQUE A ARMAZENAGEM SEGURA – De acordo com o Journal of the American Medical Association, práticas de armazenagem segura, incluindo a armazenagem de armas de fogo descarregadas, em um local trancado, separado de munições, e/ou protegidas com um dispositivo de segurança extrínseco, revelaramse uma proteção contra disparos acidentais por armas de fogo e tentativas de suicídio entre adolescentes e crianças.

As quatro práticas específicas: manter a arma travada, descarregada, e armazenar a munição trancada, em local separado, estão associadas a um efeito protetor no sentido de reduzir esses tipos de ferimentos em lares com crianças e adolescentes.

A verdade é que lares onde existem armas destravadas estão duas vezes mais propensos à ocorrência de homicídio, três vezes mais propensos à ocorrência de suicídio e cinco vezes mais propensos à ocorrência de uma fatalidade em situação de violência doméstica. A armazenagem segura salva vidas.

ANTES DE TODA DATA DE JOGO – Pergunte aos pais se existe uma arma em casa. Se a resposta for positiva, pergunte se a arma está trancada de maneira segura e se a munição está armazenada separadamente. Você protegerá não apenas a vida do seu filho, mas também ensinará aos outros pais a fazerem essa pergunta, e, desse modo, protegerá os filhos deles contra ferimentos por armas. Mesmo se o seu filho estiver indo para a casa de um parente, é importante perguntar sobre a presença de armas. Mesmo se o seu filho estiver no Ensino Médio, é importante perguntar sobre a presença de armas. Ensine seu filho a falar com um adulto imediatamente caso ele veja alguma criança tendo acesso a armas.

PERCEBA OS SINAIS DE DEPRESSÃO – Sinais de depressão incluem variações de humor, alterações de personalidade, insônia ou excesso de sono,

sentimentos de isolamento ou inutilidade. Se você suspeitar que o seu filho está deprimido, busque a ajuda de um profissional e retire todas as substâncias e objetos perigosos de casa para evitar automutilação.

PREVENÇÃO AO SUICÍDIO – O suicídio está em alta entre os jovens, e as armas constituem o meio mais letal de suicídio. Se uma criança ou adolescente está deprimido, é fundamental retirar imediatamente todos os meios letais de casa, incluindo, entre outras coisas, medicamentos, armas de fogo e outros tipos de armas e venenos. Em seguida, busque ajuda profissional de um provedor de serviços de saúde mental licenciado. Existem recursos comunitários disponíveis para ajudar o seu filho ou adolescente que está deprimido, como, por exemplo, o número 2-1-1 Broward (Disque 211) e mensagens de texto para 988, bem como conselheiros escolares, para mencionar alguns. Pensamentos suicidas, em geral, têm curta duração, surgem de crises, e nove entre dez pessoas que sobrevivem a uma tentativa de suicídio nunca o tentarão novamente. Porém, esteja ciente de que a decisão de tentar suicídio muitas vezes é impulsiva, tomada em menos de uma hora, podendo chegar até a cinco minutos. Por essa razão é fundamental retirar da criança ou do adolescente o acesso a todos os meios letais.

OUTRAS MEDIDAS QUE VOCÊ PODE TOMAR PARA MANTER O SEU FILHO A SALVO DAS ARMAS – Uma arma é roubada a cada 90 segundos nos Estados Unidos, resultando em um quarto de milhão de armas roubadas a cada ano, o suficiente para cometer todos os crimes violentos por armas de fogo notificados anualmente. Crianças e adolescentes não têm permissão legal para comprar armas de fogo, mas muitas vezes conseguem retirar armas de fogo desprotegidas de veículos. Informar outras pessoas a respeito dos perigos das armas destrancadas poderá não apenas proteger você e sua família, mas também os seus vizinhos e amigos. De acordo com o FBI, oito a cada dez atiradores em escolas usaram uma arma de suas casas ou da casa de um parente.

Com as mortes por armas atingindo um nível recorde de 48.000 ao ano e 65% dessas mortes sendo suicídios, precisamos todos nos manter mais sintonizados e mais informados a respeito da segurança contra armas, assim como mais proativos acerca da prevenção de ferimentos por armas em crianças.

A League of Women Voters, uma organização política apartidária, incentiva a participação informada e ativa de cidadãos no governo, trabalha para aumentar a compreensão das principais questões de política pública e influencia a política pública por meio de informação e defesa. www.lwvbroward.org CADEADOS GRATUITOS PARA CABOS DE ARMAS PODEM SER SOLICITADOS PELO E-MAIL: Gloria.Lewis@VA.gov.

Dicas Sobre Como Falar Sobre Perda com as Crianças

Estima-se que 1 entre 12 crianças na Flórida vivenciará a morte de um pai/ mãe ou irmão até a idade de 18 (Judi’s House, 2022). Ademais, o Condado de Broward assistiu a perda de 5.825 pessoas de COVID-19 nos últimos dois anos. Pais/cuidadores podem se beneficiar das seguintes informações como um guia para ter conversas com seus filhos e dar apoio durante os momentos de necessidade.

Reflita: Qualquer esforço para dar assistência ao(s) seu(s) filho(s) deve começar pela auto-reflexão. As crianças são sensíveis ao estresse sentido pelos adultos e podem negar suas necessidades para não sobrecarregar as outras pessoas.

Avalie: Ao falar com uma criança sobre perda, compreender o que ela já sabe pode te ajudar a estruturar a conversa. Fazer perguntas ajuda a construir a confiança e ajuda as crianças a perceberem que suas opiniões são importantes para você, mesmo quando você discorda.

Ouça: Ouça os pensamentos, necessidades e sentimentos por trás do que é compartilhado. À medida que você ouve uma criança, identifique coisas que ela diz que não são verdadeiras, de modo que você possa prestar informações precisas.

Fale: As crianças se beneficiam de informações honestas, claras e apropriadas à idade. Reter informações pode contribuir para as ansiedades naturais delas e talvez dê a impressão de que as coisas são muito horríveis para serem discutidas. Como regra geral, quanto mais nova for a criança, mais simples precisará ser a explicação que você lhe dá. É sempre melhor manter as coisas simples e concretas. Se uma criança tiver mais dúvidas, você poderá dar informações adicionais. Essa será uma conversa que continua. Não ocorrerá, e não precisa ocorrer, de uma única conversa.

Seja um exemplo: Compartilhar os seus sentimentos e ser honesto a respeito das suas emoções dá um bom exemplo para as crianças. Diga-lhes que não tem problema sentir-se…. isto é, chorar com frequência nos ajuda a nos sentirmos melhor. As crianças se beneficiam ao ver os pais com os mesmo sentimentos. Esconder os seus sentimentos poderá dar a impressão de que não conversamos sobre os assuntos difíceis. Se você está tendo problemas para administrar as suas emoções, encontre suporte para si mesmo.

Permaneça aberto: As crianças frequentemente repetirão perguntas sobre a morte num esforço para ganhar compreensão. A compreensão delas

poderá ser limitada pelo seu nível de desenvolvimento. Elas podem até apresentar uma curiosidade mórbida sobre os detalhes. Tenha em mente que a curiosidade delas não tem por finalidade ser ofensiva ou incômoda. Esteja preparado para responder mais de uma vez, e com coerência, as mesmas perguntas. Após uma perda ou crise, muitas crianças e adultos precisam de compreensão e da garantia de que estarão seguras.

Talvez você não tenha todas as respostas, especialmente para as “grandes” perguntas que as crianças fazem, como, por exemplo “por que?” Com frequência, a melhor resposta é “O que você acha”? Essa resposta abre a porta para a conversa e descoberta das preocupações e necessidades das crianças.

Salvaguarde: Expor seus filhos a histórias/imagens contínuas ou repetidas sobre perda e outros eventos de crise pode ser esmagador. Crianças mais jovens poderão acreditar que imagens repetidas e histórias novas são eventos separados e que os perigos não passaram. A exposição à mídia também pode contribuir para o seu estresse e será percebida pelas pessoas ao seu redor. Concentre-se nas coisas que você pode controlar. Isso pode constituir uma oportunidade para discutir planos estabelecidos com relação à segurança e à reação da família/comunidade.

Seja vigilante: É comum que as crianças se sintam confusas, ansiosas e tenham dificuldade em prestar atenção ou concentrar-se após uma perda ou evento de crise. Algumas podem ficar agitadas, irritadiças, defensivas ou retraídas. A ansiedade da separação pode ocorrer e ocasionalmente uma criança poderá apresentar um comportamento regressivo, como sugar o dedo ou fazer xixi na cama. É comum que as crianças se sintam ansiosas a respeito do que aconteceu e de como o acontecimento irá afetar suas vidas. Se a criança funcionava bem antes da crise, espera-se que elas retornarão os seus comportamentos prévios dentro de poucas semanas.

Mantenha a rotina: Uma rotina constitui uma estratégia útil, uma vez que muita coisa já mudou na vida de uma criança que está de luto. Como pai/mãe ou cuidador de uma criança que está de luto, tente construir rotina e previsibilidade no dia da criança tanto quanto possível. Caso esses ajustes levem mais tempo, recomenda-se buscar aconselhamento individual.

Encontre suporte: Há uma infinidade de recursos e organizações disponíveis para prestar assistência após uma perda. Contatar e se conectar com a família e amigos é essencial no processo do luto. Agora, mais do que nunca, ninguém passar pelo luto sozinho.

Se você, ou alguém que você conheça, experimentou a morte de um ente querido, o Children’s Bereavement Center oferece grupos de apoio GRATUITOS para enfrentamento do luto destinados a crianças, adolescentes, jovens adultos e seus familiares em todo o Sul da Flórida e praticamente em todo o país.
