Wishing you a 4th of July as bright as the fireworks! 🇺🇸
Happy Independence Day from the Red Oaks Coping family! 🎆

Red Oaks Coping will be closed July 17th - 19th as I attend EMDR Basic Training to expand my knowledge and skills in trauma-informed care.

I'm excited to continue growing professionally so I can better support the children, teens, and families I serve. I will respond to messages and emails as soon as possible after I return.

Thank you for your understanding and support as I invest in providing the highest quality care!

Did you know... that Red Oaks Coping prepares and accompanies kids for visiting loved ones in the hospital, even in Intensive Care? ❤️

It can be scary for kids hearing stories (or hearing none at all and making up their own in their mind) about a loved one who is really sick at the hospital, and hard for family sometimes to know what to tell the kids who are still at home.

We can help by:
✨ Using honest, developmentally appropriate explanations - even if the prognosis may mean end of life
✨ Describing what their experience may be like through their 5 senses
✨ Giving them a job while they are visiting
✨ Creating a coping plan that also honors their choice to not go in the hospital room
✨ Explaining what to expect next

Kids CAN do hard things with honest, supportive conversations and the presence of trusted and familiar loved ones.

Reach out. Red Oaks Coping is here to help. 🤝🏻🫶🏼

Preparation is key to easing a child’s medical anxiety. Before a test, surgery, or procedure, we walk your child through what to expect, in words they understand, using play, visuals, and emotional coaching.🧸✨

Stimming = Self-stimulatory behavior

We all do this in some form. Twirling hair, tapping our foot, chewing on pen caps, humming, staring at repetitive motion...

It is a means of regulation and how we release excess energy.

It looks different in every person. Let's normalize this behavior.

How do you stim?

Red Oaks Coping partners with classrooms to help students learn about medical experiences, emotions, and how to support peers with compassion. Together, we create kinder, more inclusive school communities. 🧸✨
