As we say hello to the new year, the Parents' Place FRC wants to wish you all a happy and safe 2022. Parents' Place will remain open remotely during regular business hours: Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and continue delivering caring services to protect and support our families and community. 

We welcome the new year with a strong collaboration with our local Regional Center with a series of workshops, starting with "IEP 101" presented by Nora Perez -Givens. The SG/PRC Outreach and Compliance team will offer "Living Options" and "How We Can Support You." Attending these series will give you an excellent opportunity to meet the SG/PRC team presenters: Mr. Salvador Gonzalez, Director of Community Outreach and Compliance; Xochitl Gonzalez, Community Outreach Specialist; Daniel Ibarra, Fair Hearing Specialist; Amos Byun, Asian Community Outreach Specialist; and Joshua Treviño, BCBA Specialist. 

We will continue to collaborate with our local School Districts and SELPAs. We look forward to expanding this collaboration with our new alternative dispute resolution "ADR" project.

I am pleased to let you know that our Technology Lending Library (TLL) continues running strong. As of today, we have 230 iPads in families' homes. Please do not forget that we have plenty of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all families receiving services from SG/PRC. We continue to have contactless appointments available for families that need to pick up informational materials, PPE kits, iPads, etc. We are here for you!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was part of our service delivery. First, we want to thank the entire SG/PRC Team for partnering all year long. Our families and community are blessed to have you as partners. Next, we want to thank the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III Cultural Art Museum for opening their doors to our families and children, where they enjoyed a multicultural event, fantastic food, and entertainment. To end the year, we successfully had our drive-through event with the help of our vendor community and volunteers who took part with financial support, goods, toys, and their time. Lastly, our staff and Board of Directors continue to be committed to serving families in the San Gabriel Valley community. Thank you!

I invite you to visit our website www.parentsplacefrc.com for our current calendar of events and digital resources. All our workshops, conferences, and support groups are open year-round via Zoom until this worldwide pandemic allows us to meet in person once again.
​
Until then, I urge everyone to help one another. May the new year bless you with health, wealth, and happiness. May we all do our part as selfless giving is the art of living.

Damos la bienvenida al nuevo año con una fuerte colaboración en conjunto con nuestro Centro Regional local con una serie de talleres, empezando con "IEP 101" presentado por Nora Perez-Givens. El equipo de Alcance y Cumplimiento de SG/PRC y su director el Sr. Salvador Gonzalez ofrecerá "Opciones de vida" y "Cómo podemos apoyarlo".  Asistir a estas series le dará una excelente oportunidad de conocer a los presentadores del equipo SG/PRC: El Sr. Salvador González, Director de Alcance Comunitario y Cumplimiento; Xochitl González, Especialista en Alcance Comunitario; Daniel Ibarra, Especialista en Audiencia Justa; Amos Byun, Especialista en Alcance Comunitario Asiático; y Joshua Treviño, Especialista en BCBA.

Me complace informarles que nuestra Biblioteca de Préstamo de Tecnología (TLL, por sus siglas en inglés) continúa funcionando con solidez. A la fecha, contamos con 230 iPads en los hogares de las familias. No olvide que tenemos suficiente equipo de protección personal (PPE) para todas las familias que reciben servicios de SG/PRC. Continuamos teniendo citas sin contacto disponibles para familias que necesitan recoger materiales informativos, kits de PPE, iPads, etc. ¡Estamos aquí para ayudarles!

Quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer a todos los que formaron parte de nuestra prestación de servicios. Primero, queremos agradecer a todo el equipo de SG/PRC por colaborar durante todo el año. Nuestras familias y nuestra comunidad tienen la bendición de tenerlos como socios. A continuación, queremos agradecer al Museo de Arte Cultural H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III por abrir sus puertas a nuestras familias y niños, donde disfrutaron de un evento multicultural, comida fantástica y entretenimiento. Para finalizar el año, tuvimos con éxito nuestro evento de autoservicio con la ayuda de nuestra comunidad de proveedores y voluntarios que participaron con apoyo financiero, bienes, juguetes y su tiempo. Por último, nuestro personal y la Junta Directiva siguen comprometidos a servir a las familias de la comunidad del Valle de San Gabriel. ¡Gracias!

Hasta entonces, insto a todos a ayudarse mutuamente. Que el nuevo año los bendiga con salud, riqueza y felicidad. Que todos hagamos nuestra parte, ya que dar desinteresadamente es el arte de vivir.

Nuestra temporada navideña se acerca rápidamente y Parents' Place se está preparando para terminar el año satisfaciendo las necesidades de nuestras familias de forma remota.        Muchas familias se han visto afectadas por la pandemia y las enfermedades asociadas. Es importante tomarse el tiempo para enviar pensamientos sanadores a quienes dieron positivo en la prueba, perdieron a un ser querido o tienen a un ser querido en el hospital. Queremos asegurarnos de que todos sepan que estamos en la oficina
ayudando a nuestras familias y comunidad de manera virtual.
 
Atendemos sin contacto físico a las familias con cita previa cuando necesitan recoger materiales informativos, kits, iPads, etc. No olvide que tenemos suficiente Equipo de Protección Personal (PPE) para todas las familias que reciben servicios de SG/PRC. incluidas las máscaras quirúrgicas para niños. ¡Estamos aquí para usted!
 
Me complace informarle que nuestra Biblioteca de préstamos de tecnología (TLL) sigue funcionando con
fuerza. Hoy en día, tenemos 180 iPads en los hogares de las familias.
 
Parents’ Place y el Centro Regional local continúan con una fuerte alianza de colaboración por lo que estaremos brindando talleres organizados por miembros y directores del equipo SG/PRC. Comenzaremos con un taller de Elegibilidad de Intervención Temprana y Lanterman Provisional el 26 de octubre de 4:00 p.m. a 5:30 pm.     Seguido por un IEP 101, Opciones de vida y Cómo podemos ayudarlo, presentado por el equipo de             Cumplimiento y Alcance de SG/PRC.

Funcionará de la misma manera que nuestros programas de TLL y PPE. Hemos agregado muchos libros y juguetes sobre el desarrollo socioemocional. Llame para una cita si desea pedir prestado alguno de los artículos disponibles.

Dear Families, Friends, Professionals and Community Members,
 
Welcome to the last quarter of 2021. Our holiday season is approaching fast, and Parents' Place is preparing to finish the year meeting the needs of our families remotely. So many families have been affected by the pandemic and associated illnesses. It’s important to take time to send healing thoughts to those who have tested positive, lost a loved one, or have a beloved person in the hospital. We want to make sure that everyone knows that we are in the office helping our families and community virtually.
 
We have contactless appointments available for the families that need to pick up informational materials, kits, iPads, etc. Please don’t forget that we have plenty of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all families that are receiving services from SG/PRC, including children’s surgical masks. We are here for you!
 
I am pleased to let you know that our Technology Lending Library (TLL) continues running strong. As of today, we have 180 iPads in families' homes.
 
As Parents’ Place continues with the strong collaboration with our local Regional Center, we will be providing workshops hosted by our very own SG/PRC team members and directors. We will be starting with an Early Intervention & Provisional Lanterman Eligibility workshop on October 26th from 4:00 to 5:30 pm. This will be followed by an IEP 101, Living Options, and How We Can     Support You, presented by the SG/PRC Outreach and Compliance team. This is a great opportunity to meet the SGPRC Team: Mr. Salvador Gonzalez, Director of Community Outreach and          Compliance, Xochitl Gonzalez, Cultural Specialist, Daniel Ibarra, Fair Hearing Specialist, Amos Byun,  Cultural Specialist, Joshua Treviño, BCBA Specialist, Nora Perez-Givens, Education       Specialist, Monica Barrios, Early Start/Intake Compliance Specialist, and Lupe Magallanes-Angel, Associate Director of Early Start and Intake Services.
 
We are also planning for our 14th annual conference, "Life After High School...What You Need to Know," which will take place via Zoom on Saturday, November 13, 2021, from 10 am - 12 pm. Please join us as we learn about postsecondary and vocational education. We will share invaluable information to assist you in helping your young adult understand the different options available for them during and after high school.
 
The activity boxes were a successful loan program pre-pandemic, so we decided to bring it back remotely. It will operate the same way that our TLL and PPE works.  We have added many books and toys on social emotional development.  Please make an appointment if you wish to borrow any of the items available.   
Every year, in collaboration with the West Covina Fire Department, Baldwin Park CHP, organizations and donors, Parents’ Place has been able to provide toys for children and young adults who have special needs and are part of our support groups. We are asking organizations or individuals to consider donating a new toys, or $5.00 giftcards. Your donation will make this holiday season brighter for the families we serve. 
If you seek support or need to attend a specific training in this virtual world, please reach out to us at 626-919-1091 or via email at empower@parentsplacefrc.com.
On behalf of Parents' Place Board of Directors, Staff, and myself, we wish you a happy, safe and prosperous new year.
Thank you!

Dear Families, Friends, Professionals and Community Members,
We want to welcome the new school year 2020-2021, with special recognition to our children, parents, and teachers.  We hope that you and your loved ones remain safe during these very challenging times. This school year comes to us with new technological strategies, new ways of thinking and new educational opportunities. As we continue dealing with the coronavirus pandemic's ongoing struggles, one thing remains constant: The value of collaborating with parents.  
Here at Parents’ Place, we welcome the new school year with an exciting, free-virtual training for our families and community, our very own 31st Annual Disabilities/Possibilities Seminar. This year our seminar is titled “Supporting Families, Caregivers and Professionals of children with Special Needs During Uncertain Times." Our speaker Laura Counts, MA from the Child Development Institute in  Reseda, CA, will also present on navigating the Early Start to school district transition process.      Moreover, she will be focusing on understanding the complex family/caregiver needs and the importance of managing stress during the quarantine. Please register on the link here:            https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwvd-6tpzkoHdR2ray2AptYT8MTjT0lXkNb
As students head back to school either in person or distance learning, there might be questions that parents have about their parental rights under Individual Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Please join us for a training on Special Education and COVID-19 on Oct. 21, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. presented by Disability Rights California.

 Every year with a collaboration with the West Covina Fire Department and the Baldwin Park CHP, we have provided toys for children and young adults who have special needs and participate in our support groups. Due to the Coronavirus, our Holiday Toy Giveaway is uncertain. We are asking organizations or     individuals who wish to donate a new toy to provide your assistance in helping make this holiday season brighter for our families served. 
Finally, we are excited to announce a new partnership with the San Gabriel Pomona Regional Center.  Mr. Anthony Hill, Esq. and his dedicated team has partnered with Parents' Place to establish a Technology Lending Library Program for Regional Center service recipients. Together, we will have technology devices/iPads through our lending program. On a case by case basis, Parents' Place might also assist with internet connectivity.

​Estimadas familias, amigos, profesionales y miembros de la comunidad:

Espero que usted y sus seres queridos se mantengan saludables y disfruten su verano, a pesar de todo lo que sucede a nuestro alrededor. En Parents’ Place, comenzamos con éxito algunos de nuestros grupos de apoyo en inglés, español, mandarín / cantonés y jóvenes titanes a través de Zoom. Nuestro objetivo es continuar conectandonos con familias nuevas y caras conocidas en nuestra comunidad para empoderar a las familias, fortalecer su sentido de apoyo y conectarlos con los recursos disponibles. Me complace informar que hemos podido ayudar a las familias con alimentos y equipos de protección personal en colaboración con el Centro Regional de San Gabriel / Pomona.
EL hacer frente al brote de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) es estresante para muchos de nosotros. El miedo y la ansiedad por esta enfermedad pueden ser abrumadores y causar emociones fuertes en adultos y niños. Según CDC, el estrés durante un brote de una enfermedad infecciosa puede incluir lo siguiente: miedo y preocupación por su salud y la salud de sus seres queridos; cambios en el sueño o patrones de alimentación; dificultad para dormir o concentrarse; empeoramiento de problemas crónicos de salud; empeoramiento de las condiciones de salud mental; mayor uso de alcohol, tabaco u otras drogas (www.cdc.gov/).
Todos reaccionamos de manera diferente a situaciones estresantes. La forma en que usted responda al brote puede depender de sus antecedentes, experiencias, salud y los recursos disponibles dentro de su comunidad. Las personas que pueden responder más fuertemente al estrés de una crisis son las personas mayores, las personas con necesidades especiales, las personas con problemas de salud mental y las personas con enfermedades crónicas que tienen un mayor riesgo de enfermedad grave por COVID-19.
Formas de lidiar con el estrés:
Las siguientes son ideas que puede implementar en su rutina para ayudar a enfrentar las difíciles              circunstancias actuales:
Tómese el tiempo para relajarse: Intente participar en un pasatiempo u otras actividades que disfrute, como pintar, nadar, escuchar música, etc.
Conéctese con otros: Hable con personas de su confianza acerca de sus preocupaciones y cómo se siente. Cuídese usted mismo, a sus amigos y a su familia. Ayudar a otros a sobrellevar su estrés también puede fortalecer su comunidad.
Cuide su cuerpo: Coma sano, haga ejercicio y duerma lo suficiente.
Tómese un descanso, de vez en cuando: respire profundamente, estírese o medite.
Tómese un descanso para mirar, leer o escuchar las noticias, incluidas las redes sociales.
medios de comunicación. Escuchar repetidamente sobre la pandemia puede ser abrumador.
Evitar: el abuso de sustancias.
Participe en actividades mentalmente estimulantes: únase a un grupo de apoyo para padres en Parents’ Place o taller (consulte el calendario de próximos eventos para obtener más información). Tome un curso gratuito localmente a través de la universidad de Mt San Antonio (909) 274-4192 EOA@mtsac.edu
Si usted o un ser querido tiene problemas de salud mental, llame a la línea de acceso de salud mental del condado de Los Ángeles, disponible las 24 horas, los 7 días de la semana, al 1-800-854-7771.

Dear Families, Friends, Professionals and Community Members,

I hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy and are enjoying your Summer, despite all that is happening around us. At Parents’ Place, we successfully began some of our English, Spanish, Mandarin/Cantonese and Teen Titans support groups via Zoom. Our goal is to continue to connect with both new families and familiar faces in our community to empower families, strengthen their sense of support and connect them to available resources. I am pleased to report that we have been able to assist families with food and personal protective equipment in collaboration with The San Gabriel/ Pomona Regional Center.
Coping with the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is stressful for many of us. Fear and anxiety about this disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. According to the CDC, stress during an infectious disease outbreak can include the following: Fear and worry about your health and the health of your loved ones; changes in sleep or eating patterns; difficulty sleeping or concentrating; worsening of chronic health problems; worsening of mental health conditions; increased use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs (www.cdc.gov/).
Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations. How you respond to the outbreak can depend on your background, experiences, health and the available resources within your community. People who may respond more strongly to the stress of a crisis include older people, people with special needs, people with mental health concerns and people with chronic diseases who are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
 
Ways to Cope with Stress:
The following are ideas that you can implement in your routine to help cope with the current difficult circumstances:
Make time to unwind: Try to engage in a hobby or other activities you enjoy, such as painting, swimming, listening to music, etc.
Connect with others: Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling. Take care of yourself, your friends and your family. Helping others cope with their stress can also make your community stronger.
Take care of your body: Eat healthy, exercise and get plenty of sleep.
Take a break, every now and again: Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate. Take breaks from watching, reading or listening to the news stories, including social          
media.  Repeatedly hearing about the pandemic can be upsetting.
Avoid: substance abuse
Engage in mentally stimulating activities: Join a Parents’ Place Support Group or 
training (see upcoming events calendar for more information). Take a free course locally through   
Mt San Antonio College (909) 274-4192 EOA@mtsac.edu                                                                                        If you are or a loved one is struggling with mental health concerns, please call the L.A. County Mental Health Access line, available 24/7 at 1-800-854-7771.

Estimadas Familias, Amigos, Profesionales y Miembros de la Comunidad:
Hemos estado implementando nuestro nuevo horario durante aproximadamente seis semanas, apoyando a las familias y a nuestra comunidad de forma remota. Espero que usted y su familia estén bien y que todos estén con buena salud. Nuestra situación actual está creando nuevas formas de vida temporales que eventualmente mostrarán cuán resistentes somos en tiempos difíciles.
Muchos de ustedes están trabajando, a veces horas extra para lograr los servicios esenciales que necesitamos para superar esta pandemia. Estoy agradecida por todos aquellos en posiciones esenciales que apoyan a nuestra comunidad en general. Los trabajadores del gobierno están brindando servicios para nuestra comunidad; los camioneros se apresuran a las tiendas reabastecerse; los empleados de los supermercados nos están ayudando con nuestros mostradores de comida y personal; los maestros han hecho la transición de su plan de estudios en línea para los estudiantes; las familias se unen para garantizar que se satisfagan sus necesidades.
Gracias a nuestra comunidad local que ahora comparten su información en línea. El Centro Regional de San Gabriel Pomona también está trabajando de forma remota para proporcionar servicios coordinados a familias nuevas y actuales y a personas con necesidades especiales. Spiritt Family ahora ha realizado la transición de sus talleres familiares a las reuniones de Zoom (página 10). California Peer-Run Warm Line se conecta con personas por teléfono para compartir recursos de salud mental (página 14).
Aquí, en Parents’ Place Centro de recursos para familias, nos aseguramos de que nuestras familias que tienen niños con necesidades especiales no se queden sin recursos. Nuestro personal está disponible para ayudarlo por teléfono, en línea y por correo electrónico. Algunos recursos incluyen: ubicaciones de bancos de alimentos locales, así como recursos educativos para jóvenes y adultos jóvenes mientras aprenden desde casa. También estamos ayudando a las familias a completar las solicitudes de Cal-Fresh de forma remota, de lunes a viernes de 9 a.m. a 4:30 p.m., por teléfono y en línea.
En situaciones como esta es cuando nos necesitamos más que nunca, estamos aquí para ayudarle.
Visite nuestro sitio web ya que tenemos información actualizada, www.parentsplacefrc.com. Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita un recurso que no puede localizar, infórmenos. Estamos más que felices de ayudarlo a encontrar esos recursos.
Al final, lo importante es de cuidar a nuestras familias, escuchar a nuestros líderes e implementar las pautas recomendadas por nuestros profesionales de la salud. Quedémonos en casa siempre que sea posible, practiquemos una buena higiene, juguemos, hablemos y disfrutemos nuestro tiempo juntos como familia.
Les deseo a usted y a su familia lo mejor. Como siempre, no dude en llamarnos para obtener asistencia al (626) 919-1091.

Dear Families, Friends, Professionals and Community Members,
We have been implementing our new schedule for about six weeks, supporting families and our community remotely. My hope is that you and your family are doing well and you are all safe. Our current situation is creating new temporary ways of living that will eventually show how resilient we are during challenging times.
Many of you are working, sometimes extra hours to accomplish the essential services we need to get through this pandemic. I am grateful for all those in essential positions supporting our community at large. Government workers are providing services for our community; truck drivers are bustling to restock stores; supermarket clerks are assisting us with our food and manning counters; teachers have transitioned their curriculum online for students; families are coming together to ensure their needs are being met.
Thank you to our local partners who are now sharing their information online.  The San Gabriel Pomona Regional Center is also working remotely to provide coordinated services to new families and current families and individuals with special needs. Spiritt Family has now transitioned their family workshops to Zoom meetings (page 9). California Peer-Run Warm Line connects with people over the phone to share Mental Health resources (page 14).
Here at Parents’ Place Family Resource Center we are ensuring that our families who have children with special needs, do not go without resources. Our staff is available to support you via-phone, online and email. Some resources include: Local food bank locations, as well as educational resources for youth and young adults as they are learning from home. We are also assisting families with filling out Cal-Fresh applications remotely, Monday through Friday from 9am to 4:30pm via phone and online.
We need each other more than ever and we are here for you.
Please visit our website as we have ongoing, updated information, www.parentsplacefrc.com. If you have any questions or are in need of a resource that you are not able to locate, let us know. We are more than happy to help you find it. 
In the end, it is about caring for our families, listening to our leaders and implementing the guidelines recommended by  our health care professionals.  Let’s stay home whenever possible, practice good hygiene, play, talk and enjoy our time together as a family.
Wishing you and your family the best. As always, please do not hesitate to call us for support at (626) 919-1091.
