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!<br /><br />I invite you to visit our website www.parentsplacefrc.com for our current calendar of events and digital resources.

En Parents&rsquo; Place, comenzamos con &eacute;xito algunos de nuestros grupos de apoyo en ingl&eacute;s, espa&ntilde;ol, mandar&iacute;n / canton&eacute;s y j&oacute;venes titanes a trav&eacute;s 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 protecci&oacute;n personal en colaboraci&oacute;n con el Centro Regional de San Gabriel / Pomona.<br />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 ni&ntilde;os. Seg&uacute;n CDC, el estr&eacute;s durante un brote de una enfermedad infecciosa puede incluir lo siguiente: miedo y preocupaci&oacute;n por su salud y la salud de sus seres queridos; cambios en el sue&ntilde;o o patrones de alimentaci&oacute;n; dificultad para dormir o concentrarse; empeoramiento de problemas cr&oacute;nicos de salud; empeoramiento de las condiciones de salud mental; mayor uso de alcohol, tabaco u otras drogas (www.cdc.gov/).<br />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 m&aacute;s fuertemente al estr&eacute;s de una crisis son las personas mayores, las personas con necesidades especiales, las personas con problemas de salud mental y las personas con enfermedades cr&oacute;nicas que tienen un mayor riesgo de enfermedad grave por COVID-19.<br /><strong>Formas de lidiar con el estr&eacute;s:</strong><br />Las siguientes son ideas que puede implementar en su rutina para ayudar a enfrentar las dif&iacute;ciles&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; circunstancias actuales:<br /><strong>T&oacute;mese el tiempo para relajarse:</strong> Intente participar en un pasatiempo u otras actividades que disfrute, como pintar, nadar, escuchar m&uacute;sica, etc.<br /><strong>Con&eacute;ctese con otros:</strong> Hable con personas de su confianza acerca de sus preocupaciones y c&oacute;mo se siente. Cu&iacute;dese usted mismo, a sus amigos y a su familia. Ayudar a otros a sobrellevar su estr&eacute;s tambi&eacute;n puede fortalecer su comunidad.<br /><strong>Cuide su cuerpo:</strong> Coma sano, haga ejercicio y duerma lo suficiente.<br /><strong>T&oacute;mese un descanso, de vez en cuando:</strong> respire profundamente, est&iacute;rese o medite.<br />T&oacute;mese un descanso para mirar, leer o escuchar las noticias, incluidas las redes sociales.<br />medios de comunicaci&oacute;n. Escuchar repetidamente sobre la pandemia puede ser abrumador.<br /><strong>Evitar:</strong> el abuso de sustancias.<br /><strong>Participe en actividades mentalmente estimulantes:</strong> &uacute;nase a un grupo de apoyo para padres en Parents&rsquo; Place o taller (consulte el calendario de pr&oacute;ximos eventos para obtener m&aacute;s informaci&oacute;n). Tome un curso gratuito localmente a trav&eacute;s de la universidad de <strong>Mt San Antonio</strong> (909) 274-4192 EOA@mtsac.edu<br />Si usted o un ser querido tiene problemas de salud mental, llame a la l&iacute;nea de acceso de salud mental del condado de Los &Aacute;ngeles, disponible las 24 horas, los 7 d&iacute;as de la semana, al <strong>1-800-854-7771.</strong></font><br /><br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Message from Elena Sanchez, Executive Director]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.parentsplacefrc.com/-from-a-parent--blog/a-message-from-elena-sanchez-executive-director5034569]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.parentsplacefrc.com/-from-a-parent--blog/a-message-from-elena-sanchez-executive-director5034569#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2020 20:27:14 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.parentsplacefrc.com/-from-a-parent--blog/a-message-from-elena-sanchez-executive-director5034569</guid><description><![CDATA[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&rsquo; 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.<br />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&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/rxawareness/treatment/index.html">other drugs</a>&nbsp;(www.cdc.gov/).<br />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.<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>Ways to Cope with Stress:</strong><br />The following are ideas that you can implement in your routine to help cope with the current difficult circumstances:<br /><strong>Make time to unwind: </strong>Try to engage in a hobby or other activities you enjoy, such as painting, swimming, listening to music, etc.<br /><strong>Connect with others:</strong>&nbsp;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.<br /><strong>Take care of your body:</strong> Eat healthy, exercise and get plenty of sleep.<br /><strong>Take a break, every now and again:</strong> Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate. Take breaks from watching, reading or listening to the news stories, including social&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />media.&nbsp; Repeatedly hearing about the pandemic can be upsetting.<br /><strong>Avoid:</strong> substance abuse<br /><strong>Engage in mentally stimulating activities:</strong>&nbsp;Join a Parents&rsquo; Place Support Group or&nbsp;<br />training (see upcoming events calendar for more information). Take a free course locally through&nbsp; <span>&nbsp;<br /></span><strong>Mt San Antonio College</strong> (909) 274-4192<strong>&nbsp;<a href="mailto:EOA@mtsac.edu">EOA@mtsac.edu</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If you are or a loved one is struggling with mental health concerns, please call the L.A.
