Our hearts and care go out to the Bend community, schools, and families experiencing grief and shock from last week. Grief and trauma can look very different depending on age and many other factors. Below is a helpful resource from the Child Mind Institute.

"In the wake of a traumatic event such as episodes of violence or a natural disaster, your support and reassurance can help children with trauma. Your support can help them manage their fears, feel safe, guide them through their grief, and recover in a healthy way.

This guide was assembled by psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health experts who specialize in crisis situations. It offers simple tips on what to expect, what to do and what to look out for. If you or your children require assistance from a mental health professional, do not hesitate to ask a doctor or other health care provider for a recommendation."

The year is going by quickly! Take a moment to review your deductible progress and if you have any non-urgent procedures, screenings or follow-up appointments you've been putting off, consider scheduling them before the end of the year to help maximize your benefits.

A quick check of your coverage or resources available on OregonHealthCare.gov, can help you make the most of your coverage options!
