Addressing Stress in Our Schools

This early intervention health program for children, teens, parents and educators helps students put their academic and societal pressures into perspective. It helps them understand and cope with the pressures of achievement they face in the quest to advance their higher education. It also helps to put perspective on natural and man-made disasters in the news. Stress has the potential to exhaust the emotional resilience of children and teenagers, leading to physical chronic illnesses more typically found in adults. Parents, educators and students learn how stress can transform our biology and propagate from a thought or feeling into a physiologic process. Simple stress reduction techniques are taught that are appropriate for families, youth groups and classrooms

Food and Mold Sensitivities

Learn about signs and symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, digestive problems and fatigue. Dr. Roca will also discuss approaches to diagnosis and treatment of these frequently overlooked health issues.

Healthy Living in a Toxic World

Toxic exposures and their consequences have been identified by our community as topics of extreme concern. Parents are beginning to recognize the risks of these poisons to the health of their children, starting in utero and continuing throughout life. Our medical director, Henri Roca, MD, is well versed to talk about awareness, assessment and treatment of poisons in our environment as well as toxins in our food and how to avoid them.

Stress and the Developing Brain

Pervasive stress in our culture affects children as young as six years old. Often these stresses come from outside forces. Without an awareness of what stress is or how it operates, children become victims of how stress feels. If they do not understand that stress is abnormal, the feeling can become their new measure of normalcy.
