Family

who
will
share
important
information
related
to
the
emotional
needs
of
children
and
teens
and
as
part
of
our
discussion,
we
will
also
discuss
suicide
and
recent
santa
clara
county
data,
which
fortunately
does
not
show
an
increase
since
shelter
in
place.
C
But
first
let
us
bring
you
up
to
date
as
it
relates
to
kovin
19
in
the
county
of
santa
clara
from
our
data
dashboard.
As
of
yesterday,
we
have
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
seven
confirmed
cases.
There
have
been
one
hundred
and
fifty-four
deaths
and
there
have
been
zero
new
deaths.
Our
thoughts
are
with
the
families
who
have
lost
loved
ones
due
to
this
virus,
and
we
wish
a
speedy
recovery
for
anyone
who
is
currently
sick
with
the
virus.
C
We
want
to
let
you
know
that,
prior
to
the
start
of
this
segment,
Jacqueline
and
I
removed
our
face
coverings.
For
clarity.
Excuse
me,
interestingly,
for
clarity
and
sound
quality.
When
we
finish
this
section,
we
will
be
putting
our
face
coverings
back
on
just
like
adults,
children's
and
teens
have
been
impacted
by
shelter
in
place,
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
meet
with
Jacqueline
to
find
out
how
we
can
support
children
in
coping
with
the
stress
of
this
pandemic.
So
welcome
Jacqueline,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
being
here
today.
D
Rachel
I'm
happy
to
be
here
so
start
by
telling
a
little
bit
about
uplift.
Uplift
Family
Services
is
a
community-based
behavioral
health
organization.
We
started
over
150
years
ago
here
in
the
Bay
Area
and
we
have
grown
and
changed
with
this
county
and
we've
also
grown
through
California.
We
now
provide
services
in
30
counties
across
the
state
from
Sacramento
all
the
way
down
to
Fresno,
San,
Bernardino
and
right
into
the
heart
of
LA.
I
want
to
highlight
that
we
have
continued
to
provide
services
throughout
the
shelter
in
place.
D
We
quickly
developed
a
telehealth
platform,
so
you
can
see
your
provider
and
support
person
right
there
in
front
of
you
in
front
of
your
face.
We
have
the
good
old-fashioned
telephone
text
messaging
and
we've
been
providing
in-person
services,
we're
following
all
of
the
santa
clara
county
guidelines
for
safety
and
delivering
those.
But
if
your
family
is
in
need
of
services
in
crisis,
we
have
continued
it
along
with
the
county
to
be
there,
for
you,
uplift
provides
in
this
county
a
range
of
services
from
birth
through
26
and
older.
We
have
first
five
programming.
D
We
have
school-based
services
outpatient.
We
do
kind
of
your
traditional
therapy
and
we
also
do
intensive
level
stabilization.
We
do
specialty
services
like
ABA
in
autism,
addiction,
prevention
and
we
are
licensed,
foster
care
and
adoption
agency,
and
we
do
crisis
services
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
today,
but
we
run
a
24/7
every
minute
of
every
day,
holidays,
weekends,
bubble,
crisis
line,
that's
available
to
any
youth
and
family
in
this
entire
county,
17
and
younger
and
our
mission.
D
C
Thank
You
Jacqueline
shelter-in-place
has
been
hard
for
adults.
It's
also
been
very
hard
for
kids,
their
routines
school
events.
All
sorts
of
things
have
been
changing
and
not
kind
of
following
the
same
routine
as
they
typically
would.
So
what
are
some
ways
that
adults
can
support
children
during
this
time?
Yes,.
D
So
you
know
kids,
just
like
adults,
we're
all
feeling
a
tremendous
amount
of
stress
right
now
and
sometimes
as
adults.
We
have
the
tendency
to
think
that
you
know
kids
don't
have
as
much
to
worry
about
as
we
do.
Maybe
you
job
is
impacted
by
this
you're
wearing
up
bills
and
food,
and
you
think
kids
kind
of
have
this
extended
summer
vacation
or
you
might
think
that,
because
I
don't
understand
a
lot
of
it,
maybe
they're
younger
that
they
they
might
not
worry
about
it
as
much.
D
But
kids
are
very
good
at
picking
up
on
stress
in
the
environment.
They
pick
up
little
bits
of
information
from
you
when
you
don't
think
they
would.
It
doesn't
matter
how
many
walls
and
screens
are
between
you.
They
hear
you
on
the
phone,
you
know
scrolling
their
feeds,
they
pick
up
all
sorts
of
things
and
then
environmental.
You
know
they're
outside
they
see
people
with
masks
on
schools
closed
and
they
can
feel
our
stress.
D
You
have
a
tendency
to
want
to
pour
into
them,
but
you
know,
if
you're
here,
it's
really
hard
for
your
kids
to
be
done
down
here,
so
think
about
what
you
can
do
for
yourself.
Little
every
day
keep
routines
so
sometimes
in
the
last
couple
months,
every
day,
sort
of
feels
the
same,
but
if
you've
always
done
something
on
a
Saturday
keep
trying
to
do
that.
It
brings
a
rhythm
to
kids
days
when
there
are
predictable
parts
of
the
day,
give
them
simple
and
clear
explanations
of
things
that
are
going
on.
D
So,
instead
of
saying
you
don't
need
to
worry
about
that
or
it's
nothing
sometimes
they'll
fill
in
the
gap
with
something
that's
not
actually
going
on,
give
them
a
clear
answer
or
something
simple
or
tell
them
that
we
can.
You
can
talk
more
about
that,
try
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
with
them.
Every
day
we
get
super
busy.
You
know
work
and
dinner
and
all
these
things
just
for
them
and
another
important
piece
is
keep
them
connected.
D
You
know,
shelter-in-place
has
been
really
isolating
and
kids
stay
connected
on
the
phone
or
the
internet,
and
it's
really
tempting
to
use
those
things.
A
consequence
for
behavior
would
think
about
if
that's
pulling
them
away
from
their
friends
or
not
and
find
ways
to
enrich
their
connection
with
their
peers.
So.
D
So
you
know
kids
express
emotions
differently
than
adults.
Do
their
brains
are
still
growing,
their
bodies
are
changing.
They
might
not
be
that
good
at
describing
it
yet.
So
some
of
this
can
all
be
a
normal
range
of
feeling,
but
there
are
some
things
that
you
should
look
for.
That
might
mean
that
your
child
is
having
a
more
difficult
time
with
it
feeling
sad,
irritable
and
just
on
edge
a
lot
of
the
time.
D
So
not
your
kind
of
typical
ups
and
downs
throughout
the
week,
but
you're
really
noticing
something's
there
they're
not
wanting
to
do
and
enjoy
things
that
they
used
to,
and
not
that
kind
of
boredom
of
I've
already
done
that
a
bunch
of
times
but
really
they're.
You
know
that
they
love
whatever
it
is
and
they're
just
not
enjoying
it
eating
and
sleeping
patterns.
D
You
know
sometimes
kids,
don't
talk
about
feeling,
hopeless
and
as
adults
we
might
might
not
pick
up
on
it.
Sometimes
they
have
a
tendency
to
think
of
kids
just
being
a
troublemaker
or
they're
really
unmotivated,
and
you
would
just
say
like
that.
Kids
super
lazy,
so
I
would
encourage
you
if
you
have
those
kids
in
your
life,
think
about
the
other
things
that
are
going
on
with
that
to
consider
if
there's
more
happening
for
them
and
then
lastly,
there's
a
lot
of
physical
symptoms,
especially
with
the
anxiety,
depression,
headaches
and
stomachaches.
D
C
When
we
think
about
talking
to
children
that
can
be
really
hard
to
find
the
words
to
talk
with
children
about
their
feelings
and
their
experiences.
So
what
do
you
suggest
for
parents
or
caregivers
or
other
adults
with
regards
to
the
things
they
can
say
to
children,
to
support
them
and
talking
about
their
feelings
and
experiences?
Yeah.
D
So
you
know
the
first
thing
you
could
I
want
to
do
is
manage
your
own
stress,
because
kids
will
match
up
against
you.
They
love
to
match
up
to
the
level
that
you're
having
so
take
a
deep
breath,
especially
if
you
want
to
talk
to
your
child
about
how
they're
feeling
I'll
say.
You
know
your
child
best.
So
if
you
think
something
is
going
on
for
them,
it
very
well
could
be
so
tune
into
that
and
pay
attention
to
it.
D
If
someone
that
says
what's
what's
wrong
with
you,
I'm
like
nothing,
what's
wrong
with
you,
you
know
so
you're
gonna
close
that
door
really
quickly
what
you,
what
you
could
do
instead
is
go
and
simple
and
ask
them
how
you
doing.
Are
you
doing
all
right
and
something
that
I
like
to
do?
Is
share
how
you're
doing
first
so
I
might
say
to
my
daughter,
like
I've,
been
feeling
super
tired
recently,
how
are
you
doing
the
point
of
asking
your
kids
how
they're
doing
isn't?
D
You
know
check
a
box,
it's
to
really
get
that
true
answer
so
that
you
can
help
them
if
they
need
it,
if
you're
worried
about
them-
and
they
say
something
that
makes
you
really
concerned,
don't
be
afraid
to
ask
them
the
question:
do
you
sometimes
feel
like
you
don't
want
to
live
anymore?
We
have
to
know
how
kids
are
feeling
in
order
to
support
them.
A
lot
of
parents
get
nervous
asking
these
questions
to
their
children,
but
we
won't
know
how
to
help
them
unless
we
can
hear
it
from
them.
D
And,
lastly,
you
don't
ask
for
help.
Parents
don't
ask
for
help
because
they're
embarrassed,
they
don't
know
if
it's
really
a
big
deal,
they're,
just
not
sure
they
don't
want
to
burden
others.
Every
crisis
that
I've
ever
responded
to
a
bigger
small
friends
and
family
always
say
I
wish
I
would
have
known.
I
would
have
done
something
so
I
encourage
you
not
not
to
wait
for
your
families
and
friends
wishes
reach
out
now,
there's
a
lot
of
folks
out
there
that
can
help
and
support
you.
So.
C
With
regards
to
thinking
about
the
folks
that
can
help
in
support,
we
have
seen
actually
a
spike
in
calls
to
our
suicide
and
crisis
hotline
in
our
county
and
recent
medical
examiner's
office.
Data
shows,
however,
though,
that
suicide
fortunately
has
not
gone
up
during
the
shelter
in
place
from
March
16th
to
June
1st
2020.
There
were
27
suicides
across
all
ages
and
in
the
same
period
last
year
there
were
38
suicides.
C
The
medical
examiner
is
still
investigating
deaths
for
the
time
period,
and
so
these
numbers
may
slightly
change,
but
with
regards
to
caregivers
that
might
be
concerned
about
suicide
and
their
child
or
their
adolescent
with
regards
to
their
child
and
adolescent.
What
suggestions
do
you
have,
particularly
with
regards
to
utilizing
or
suicide
and
crisis
supports
and
other
supports
that
we
have
in
our
county
yeah?
You.
D
Know
when
we're
talking
about
thoughts
of
suicide,
a
lot
of
the
symptoms
can
be
very
similar
to
the
anxiety
and
depression.
There
are
a
couple
things
that
you
would
want
to
pay
attention
to.
That
can
be
more
significant
changes
in
eating
and
sleeping,
like
I
said
that
couldn't
really
throw
off
just
the
overall
feeling
of
wellness
for
kids
significant
isolation.
So
if
they're
really
pulling
back
from
you
from
their
friends
or
anyone
else
for
a
period
of
time
that
can
be
very
damaging
to
their
mental
health.
You
know
kids
are
reactionary.
D
You
know
also
the
other
risk
with
kids
in
suicide
is
sometimes
as
adults.
We
don't
know
how
intense
their
feelings
are
and
kids
can
be
impulsive
and
not
really
think
through
the
consequences
of
choices
they
just
know
they
want
feelings
to
stop
and
that's
why
I
encourage
asking
those
tough
questions
so
that
we
can
get
them
to
share
with
us
and
we
can
put
supports
in
place
so
now.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
symptoms
and
signs,
and
so
the
question
is:
what
do
you
do
if
you're
concerned
to
prevent
suicide?
So
absolutely
suicide
is
preventable.
D
D
What
you
can
do
is
take
suicidal
statements
seriously,
don't
pass
it
off
as
teenage
angst
pay
attention
to
those
things
and-
and
if
you
hear
something
that's
concerning,
let
let
your
child
or
teen
know
ask
them
the
question
about
suicide.
You
know
talking
about
suicide,
does
not
cause
suicide,
but
not
talking
to
a
youth.
Who's
struggling
can
actually
make
them
feel
more
isolated
and
disconnected.
So
it's
really
important
just
to
talk
about
these
things
with
them.
Don't
increase
their
connection.
Like
I,
said
their
lifestyle
sleep.
D
You
know
some
teens
need
more
sleep,
but
you
know
if
they're
not
eating
healthy,
get
them
outdoors
right
now,
just
let
the
sunshine
hit
their
face
for
a
minute
lift
up
their
wellness
a
little.
There
are
ways
that
you
can
still
increase
that
connection,
even
during
this
time
support
any
treatment
plan
that
comes
up
so
know
that
things
don't
change
quickly,
but
things
will
change
for
them.
C
D
So
you
know
you
don't
have
to
decide
this
on
your
own.
We
add
uplift
operate
a
24/7
mobile
crisis
line.
You
can
call
you
can
just
talk.
We
can
develop
a
safety
plan
with
you.
We
can
come
out
and
talk
to
your
youth
and
talk
to
you
and
we're
really
there
to
support
you
along
with
this
process
and
we'll
give
you
some
of
those
resources
at.
