Butte County health representatives say they have long realized the need for coordinated mental health services for family and children dealing with trauma.
The Camp Fire drove that point home and now the coronavirus crisis. Julia Yarbough recently spoke with the Executive Director of the new Center for Learning and Resilience. It’s a resource to help meet community needs.
First of all, thank you for joining us, and tell me about this program.
"So, the Center for Learning and Resilience is really modeled to be wrap-around support for families and their children. It was a multi-year process in determining what families and children needed. And we're in a different type of trauma right, we're looking more at toxic stress, what I’m talking about toxic stress I mean when children and their families and our communities are under stress over a long period of time. And the importance to really address the mental health needs of young children."
