IT USED TO BE THAT CHILDREN WERE RAISED BY A COMMUNITY OF EXTENDED FAMILY AND
FRIENDS. NOW, MANY PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ARE ISOLATED WITHOUT THE SUPPORT THEY
NEED. THAT’S WHERE FIRST 5 MENDOCINO COMES IN.

RAISE & SHINE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER

Raise & Shine is an Early Start Family Resource Center in Mendocino County that
provides resources, support, training, and classes to families of children with
and without disabilities.

More Info

THE FIRST FIVE YEARS ARE CRUCIAL

Ninety percent of a child’s brain develops by age five. It is critical to talk,
read and sing to your baby every day.

DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES

One way to track how your child's brain is developing is to make sure you get
routine screenings with your pediatrician.

WHY THE FIRST 5 YEARS?

PRENATAL THROUGH THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF A CHILD'S LIFE ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR
THEIR FUTURE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING.


THROUGH A BODY OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES OVER THE COURSE OF MORE THAN A
DECADE, THERE IS NOW A CONSENSUS AMONG CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS THAT PRENATAL
THROUGH THE FIRST 5 YEARS OF A CHILD’S DEVELOPMENT ARE CRUCIAL TO DETERMINING
WELLNESS, FUTURE HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND EVEN LIFESPAN. THIS BRIEF DEVELOPMENTAL
PERIOD WILL DETERMINE THEIR BASELINE ABILITY TO COPE WITH STRESS, HOW WELL A
PERSON CAN FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION, REGULATE THEIR EMOTIONS, PLAN FOR THE FUTURE,
AND HAVE EMPATHY FOR OTHERS.


WHEN CHILDREN ARE RAISED IN A WELL-RESOURCED FAMILY AND COMMUNITY, THESE EARLY
EXPERIENCES INTERACT WITH GENETICS TO PROVIDE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO
THRIVE, FIRST IN SCHOOL AND THEN IN LIFE.


AT F5 MENDOCINO WE ADVOCATE FOR THE HEALTHY BIRTH, GROWTH, AND DEVELOPMENT OF
ALL CHILDREN. THIS MEANS WE MUST STRIVE TO SUPPORT PARENTS AND FAMILIES TO HAVE
WHAT THEY NEED FOR OPTIMAL DEVELOPMENT, FAMILY STRENGTHENING, AND RESILIENCE.

BECAUSE YOUNG CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING IS TIED SO CLOSELY TO THE MENTAL
HEALTH OF THEIR PARENTS AND NON-FAMILY CAREGIVERS, THE EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL
NEEDS OF INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND PRESCHOOLERS ARE BEST MET THROUGH COORDINATED
SERVICES THAT FOCUS ON THEIR FULL ENVIRONMENT OF RELATIONSHIPS.

— NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL ON THE DEVELOPING CHILD


EXPERIENCE OF THE PHENOMENAL CAPACITY OF OUR BIRTHING BODY CAN GIVE US AN
ENDURING SENSE OF OUR OWN POWER AS WOMEN. BIRTH IS THE BEGINNING OF LIFE; THE
BEGINNING OF MOTHERING, AND OF FATHERING. WE ALL DESERVE A GOOD BEGINNING.

— SARAH J. BUCKLEY


BEING ABLE TO FEEL SAFE WITH OTHER PEOPLE IS PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT
ASPECT OF MENTAL HEALTH; SAFE CONNECTIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO MEANINGFUL AND
SATISFYING LIVES.

— BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, PRESIDENT OF THE TRAUMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION



F5 MENDOCINO'S MISSION

In partnership with our community, we strengthen and nurture early childhood
systems that promote optimal health and development, narrow disparities, and
improve the lives of children through education, support, and advocacy.
