Presented by Laura Ornelas, LCSW Clinical Social Worker
Children who have experienced loss, separations, and/or trauma often struggle with understanding their past. This tends to leave them feeling like they were responsible, that there is something wrong with them, and/or that the outcome would be different were it not for them. Because they do not have the mental capacity of adults, it can be very hard to explain to them otherwise. Instead, they can be left with big feelings of guilt and shame and inaccurate thoughts that result in low self-worth and poor self-esteem, which can play out over a lifetime in their behavior. Come hear more at this workshop about how parents can address these concerns at their root through simple daily interactions with their child.

Join us this week to discuss the medical home model, a practice of care that is patient-centered, comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety, and how this model can be used to provide comprehensive pediatric primary care. Together, we will identify strategies for supporting bi-directional communication between pediatric referral sources and the medical home.

Esta semana discutiremos el modelo del hogar médico, una práctica de la atención que es centrada en el paciente, comprensiva, basada en el equipo, coordinada, accesible, y se centra en la calidad y la seguridad, y en cómo se puede utilizar este modelo para proporcionar una atención primaria pediátrica integral. Juntos, identificaremos estrategias para apoyar la comunicación bidireccional entre las fuentes de referencia pediátrica y el hogar médico.
