Alberta Health Services is pleased to share that we have launched a new advice and guidance line for parents, guardians and caregivers of children and youth (birth to 18 years of age) with concerns about their child’s development and well-being. The Pediatric Rehabilitation Line provides advice about developmental milestones in areas such as:

  • Moving and playing (e.g., crawling, coordination, playing with toys)
  • Talking and listening (e.g., babbling, understanding directions, stuttering)
  • Taking care of self (e.g., dressing, toileting, sleeping)
  • Managing emotions (e.g., calming self, becoming overwhelmed or overstimulated)
  • Difficulty eating or swallowing (e.g., coughing, gagging)
  • Hearing (e.g., responding to sounds, noise, voices, words)
  • Are recovering from COVID-19
  • Are looking for current rehabilitation resources (e.g., links to information or webinars)
  • Are looking for help to find local services

How to connect

This Alberta-only line is answered by Allied Health clinicians and operates Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parents, guardians and caregivers can call 811 or the Rehabilitation Advice Line (1-833-379-0563) to be prompted to the Pediatric Rehabilitation Line.

Free webinar series

AHS also offers free webinars that cover a range of developmental topics, from toilet training and tummy time to emotional regulation and speech development, as well as many others. Parents and caregivers will build skills and gain confidence by learning practical ways to help children and youth improve their skills while supporting development. Information and registration can be accessed here.

You can also visit Together4Health to access the latest information, strategies, and resources for supporting youth and child development.

 

  • Caregiver Education Sessions

These online sessions are intended to provide parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members with introductory information regarding mental health challenges that can affect children and youth. In May, we will be offering sessions on understanding autism, parenting strategies for positive mental health in children, and managing test anxiety in teens. In June, we are offering a special session on ‘junior-high jitters’ – transitioning to junior high school and the teenage years.

  • Adult Education SessionsNew!

In May, we are excited to offer a new two-part Lunch & Learn series for older adults called “Silver Linings – Supporting Wellness in the Later Years”.  This series will provide a basic overview of mental health challenges that older adults may face and some coping strategies and supports for addressing the stressors and promoting wellness. This session is for any adult wanting to support their own wellness, or the wellness of someone they live or work with.

  • Child and Adolescent Addiction & Mental Health Education Resource Library

On our website, you will find additional resource links to a variety of community websites, webinars, handouts, and modules on addiction and mental health topics pertaining to children and youth. These resources were gathered and reviewed by a mental health professional as part of the Building Service Capacity for Child and Adolescent Mental Health in Primary Care and Pediatrics project in partnership with Alberta Health Services, the Edmonton Zone Primary Care Networks, and CASA Mental Health.

It was Let’s Talk Day on Jan. 25 . The idea of Let’s Talk recognizes that one of the things that keeps us mentally healthy is talking, having someone listening, caring and connecting. But we are not always prepared to engage. We need tools and words to use to support someone who is going through something hard. These are some examples:

Discuss resources and next steps. Support the person in coming up with a plan. They may have been through something like this before and have an idea of what helps them, or this might be the first time they have felt this way. In any case, they may need support locating resources and identifying coping strategies. “Have you ever felt this way before? What was helpful in the past?” “Have you talked to anyone else about this? “Have you reached out to your family doctor?” “Let’s talk about what will help you cope right now.” “Would it be helpful if I came with you to your next appointment?” “I can help you look up mental health supports that might work for you.” If they don’t believe there’s a problem, don’t argue with them about it and don’t suggest possible solutions. You can keep checking in to see how they’re doing or try getting together more often, if that’s what they want.

You can find a whole guide with more ideas here:

The ride home from a sport is simple.

You just have to remember to say six words.

I love to watch you play.

– Inspired by the video “The ride home”

70% of kids quit sports before high school because it just isn’t fun anymore. That’s a staggering number. Have you ever (even though you meant well) focused on the negative things from a game or practice on the ride home from your child’s sport? Focusing on a certain six words instead can make a world of difference.
