GUIDE
Stress Busters
Kids and teens face stress every day — whether it’s school pressure, social challenges, or big life changes. As a parent, you play a key role in helping your child build healthy coping skills. Teaching them simple, effective ways to manage stress now can set them up for lifelong emotional well-being.
Stress Busters Guides
CHOC experts have curated in-depth guides on the seven stress busters from the ACEs Aware Initiative — the first-in-the-nation effort to screen patients for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to improve and save lives.
The seven stress busters are mental healthcare, supportive relationships, quality sleep, balanced nutrition, physical activity, mindfulness practices, and time in nature. Each guide includes articles, resources, podcasts, and videos on a specific topic, offering practical tips for parents/caregivers, kids/teens, and clinicians.
