Many grown ups are experiencing strong and complex emotions about the events at our nation’s capitol this week. As this article acknowledges, Sometimes it’s OK not to feel OK . . . And that’s where parents can help kids, by listening and validating the feelings. This article also states, "children as young as 3 months old can sense when their parents are angry or sad, and can feel those emotions themselves . . . If you notice more intense behaviors that make you concerned... or distressed like lengthier, more frequent tantrums, for example trust your gut and consider getting additional support." We are here to help. Secure Beginnings offers Parent Consultations with one of our parenting experts to support families in understanding their child's behavior and provide tools that will work for your family. Call (805) 646-7559 x122 or email [email protected] to schedule a consultation. Secure Beginnings' Free Counseling Program connects you directly to our Licensed Therapist who will provide a therapeutic intake, and help you get connected to our network of specialized therapists who provide confidential therapy to parents and caregivers with children 0-5 years old.

We're happy to be partnered with the Promotoras Y Promotores Foundation, and for their dedication to connecting Latino families with peer and professional mental health services.
