At Children’s Medical Centers of Fresno, we understand that today’s challenges affect families in many ways—physically and emotionally. That’s why we believe in prioritizing mental and physical health now more than ever. Our goal is to provide the resources and support you need to care for your body and mind, ensuring your family’s overall well-being during life’s difficult moments.
Stress and anxiety affect more than just adults—children also carry the weight of these emotions, sometimes in subtle ways. The effects of stress can present itself in various ways, including behavioral changes, difficulty concentrating, and even physical symptoms. CMCFresno offers a range of resources designed to support the mental and physical health of your entire family, ensuring that everyone has the tools they need to overcome challenges.
To help families manage stress more effectively, we have partnered with ACEs Aware, an initiative designed to bring crucial resources to families in need. The ACEs Aware program offers specially developed stress relief playbooks to support both mental health and physical treatment, allowing families to focus on relaxation, stress management, and emotional resilience.
ACEs Aware is a groundbreaking initiative led by the Office of the California Surgeon General and the Department of Health Care Services. It equips Medi-Cal providers with the tools, training, clinical protocols, and payment options to screen children and adults for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or traumatic events that can impact long-term health and well-being. These experiences can include abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, and other significant stressors. Understanding and addressing ACEs can help families and children receive the physical and mental therapy they need.
ACEs Aware has created two invaluable stress relief playbooks designed for families. These practical guides provide easy-to-follow strategies and activities to help manage stress and reduce anxiety. They are intended for parents, caregivers, and children alike, offering tools you can integrate into daily routines to promote relaxation and emotional health.
If you or your child experiences stress or anxiety, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Our team at CMCFresno is here to provide compassionate care tailored to your needs. We offer consultations, screenings, and resources designed to help identify and manage stress in both children and adults, promoting your family’s mental and physical health. Whether through one-on-one support or family-focused strategies, we ensure you have the guidance and tools to navigate tough times and elevate your well-being.
