January Parenting Tip: CHORES
Happy New Year 2025 Erickson Families!
As we start a new year, many of us think of new resolutions or goals we want to make in our lives. Many parents ask me how they can help their child improve their self-esteem. Well, one way to increase your child’s self-esteem is to give them something they are responsible for, that they can do independently. The easiest way to accomplish this is to give your child some set chores to do on a daily to weekly basis. Chores give your child pratice with certain skills and once they have completed the chore, they feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. This in turn increases their independence and self-esteem. Here are some age appropriate chores for you and your child to consider implementing in the new year. Here’s to a great 2025!
School District CARES Program: Expanding Mental Health Support in School District 13
School District 13 is excited to continue the CARES program—an innovative, community-centered initiative designed to improve access to quality mental health services. CARES (Community, Advocacy, Resilience, Engagement, and Support) connects families with local mental health providers based on individual needs, simplifying the process of finding help and scheduling appointments.
Through this program, families can receive up to 8 free mental health treatment sessions with independent, licensed clinicians, available in person and via telehealth. Services are 100% confidential and accessible to all district students, including those with commercial insurance, as well as those who are uninsured or underinsured.
This program is made possible through funding from District 13 in partnership with ReferralGPS, a mental health navigation service that connects students and families with local providers based on their specific needs.
For more information on the CARES program and accessing mental health services, please visit our District CARES page at https://referralgps.com/13cares or scan the QR code below. To get started, simply complete the “Treatment Request” form. You can also contact your student's social worker or counselor for assistance with placing a referral.
