Turning Point of Central California, Inc.

Recently on Mental Health Night at the Visalia Rawhide, a client of ours was able to throw out the first pitch. Here is her experience: In throwing the first pitch: it was stressful, overwhelming, and scary being in the eyes of a large crowd. However, it allowed me to challenge my fear in taking control of my social anxiety. I was proud of myself. In being able to stay focus in making this task fun, rather than scary. After leaving the game, I came to realization that this task did not turn out to be as bad as I thought it was going to be. I know that in order to overcome my fear of being in large crowds, is to put myself in uncomfortable situations. #success #story #first #pitch #rawhide #mentalhealth #baseball #support #community #transformation #tpocc #since1970 #ca

Success Story: We had a young client enter our program to reduce aggressive and defiant behaviors being displayed at home and at school. He was making very good progress before COVID-19 came around, and the shelter in place order was given. The client’s mother expressed being really worried, since he would now be home more with his younger siblings. She worried this might increase conflict and aggression toward the other children. Our program continued to offer services to ou...r client and his Mom via Telehealth. Parenting services were increased to help Mom problem solve as situations came up at home. Mom was engaged and participated in sessions, and also followed through with the parenting strategies she was being offered. She was able to become more structured and provide consistent positive parenting to our client, while also learning to praise and validate his efforts. We were also able to assist in finding other supportive services that provided basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothes around their community. #success #story #community #support #resources #motivation #parenting #serve #tpocc #cince1970 #ca See more
