Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is December 3rd. Help Kids Like Avery Succeed.

/

Avery was overwhelmed. Between school, dance classes, sports, and other extracurricular activities, she was starting to crumble under the pressure. Avery’s mom noticed something was wrong when Avery began to bite her nails. Constantly. She sought help from a Beech Acres Parenting Center Parent Connext™ Parenting Specialist located right in her pediatrician’s office. The Parenting Specialist walked mom though an exercise called “what’s on your plate” where she physically wrote down all of her daughter’s commitments on a paper plate. The plate quickly filled up. Realizing the pressure Avery was under brought mom to tears. She understood what Avery must be feeling. And she made some changes. Avery’s schedule is much less full now. She cut back on dance classes and even dropped an activity or two. Grades are still a top priority and mom’s expectations are still high. They just stop to take a breath now from time to time and enjoy each other’s company We know that parent’s relationships with their children improve after just three sessions with a Parent Connext™ Parenting Specialist. With a gift of just $300 this #GivingTuesday you can improve a family’s relationship today.

Giving Tuesday is Next Week! Support Grandmas like Miss Valerie With A Gift To Beech Acres Parenting Center!

/

Miss Valerie is just one of nearly 100,000 grandparents providing care for a loved one’s child. Many of the grandparents find themselves in these unexpected circumstances due to unfortunate circumstances such as domestic violence, the opioid epidemic, or the death of a parent. They all just want to do the best they can to care for their grandchildren. Miss Valerie is co-parenting her six great-grandchildren with her granddaughter. The children range in age from a teenager all the way to a 5-month-old baby girl. It’s a busy life and not one she expected to be living at her age. Thanks to your support Miss Valerie has access to valuable resources she didn’t even know were available to her. Kinship Connections through Beech Acres Parenting Center provides access to financial resources, help with navigating complex paperwork, and most importantly, connections with other caregivers in similar circumstances. Miss Valerie has been attending Kinship classes for over a year and always makes sure to bring plenty of great questions, and plenty of pictures of her great-grandchildren. Caregivers in Kinship Connections share stories and laughter, and yes even a few tears, but they are stronger together and take what they learn back home to care for the children in their home. This #GivingTuesday support kinship caregivers with a gift to Beech Acres Parenting Center. 9% of all children in Ohio are being raised by a grandparent or other relative that needs support now. You can make a difference with your gift today.

Help Kids Like Scott Receive Critical Interventions and Services Right in Their School With a Gift To Beech Acres Parenting Center

/

Scott was sent to the principal’s office. Again. He seemed so angry all the time. His behavior was affecting his school work and his relationship with his family. Mom and dad were frustrated and unsure about how to approach the situation. A Family Peer Support Specialist at Scott’s school connected the family with Beech Acres Parenting Center. The family was excited to have access to services for their son right in his school. They quickly learned Scott’s strengths (humor and kindness were his top!) and the power of mindfulness. Scott’s therapist identified self-regulation as a strength to be improved. Scott learned an activity he could use to help himself calm down when confronted with a stressful situation. Scott learned to S.T.O.P. Stop what you are doing. Take a calming breath. Observe what’s around you. Proceed with what you are doing. This simple exercise improved his behavior and decreased the number of visits to the principal’s office. Scott still has a long way to go, but with your support, he and his family are becoming stronger and growing closer every day. With a gift to Beech Acres Parenting Center this #GivingTuesday you are helping kids like Scott receive critical interventions and services right in their school. Download the STOP Mindful Moment
