We know that children involved in the child welfare system may have special or complex health needs. That’s why Sunshine Health Pathway to Shine offers Care Management services to help support your child’s care. If your child has special health needs, a Care Manager may be able to help.

Our Care Managers can help you understand your child’s needs and coordinate care with your child’s doctors. They provide support with ongoing conditions, complex health needs, or following a hospital stay.

If you think Care Management could benefit your child, please call Member Services at 1‑855‑463‑4100 and ask to speak with a Care Manager to learn more. You can also visit Care Management to learn more.

Staying active is good for your child’s body and mind. There are many ways for your child to get moving this summer, including:

  1. Teaming Up. Encourage your child to join a local sports league, such as softball, soccer, basketball, or kickball. Many leagues offer age‑appropriate or just‑for‑fun options. Playing on a team helps your child stay active on a regular schedule.
  2. Going Swimming. Swimming is a great way for your child to stay active while having fun and staying cool. Through the Sunshine Health Pathway to Shine Swimming Lessons expanded benefit, children under 21 can receive group swim sessions which include up to 8 lessons from a local YMCA. Visit Benefits to learn more.
  3. Playing Outside. Going for walks, riding bikes, or playing at the park are easy ways to stay active. See if your local park has a playset for them to enjoy!
  4.  Trying Something New. Dancing, gymnastics, or martial arts are fun ways for children to move and learn new skills. Your local YMCA may offer free classes with your child’s membership, available through the Sunshine Health Pathway to Shine benefits. Visit Benefits to learn more

Did you know May is Child Mental Health Awareness Month? It’s a great time to learn how to talk to your child about their thoughts and feelings.

You can start with a simple check-in once a week. Here are some questions suggested by the National Alliance on Mental Illness:

  1. How have you been feeling lately?
  2. How are things going with your friends?
  3. What has been your favorite part of the day so far?
  4. What has been your least favorite part of the day?
  5. What new activities or hobbies do you want to try?
  6. What’s something exciting that you are looking forward to?

If your child needs emergency mental health support, you can call our 24/7 Behavioral Health Crisis Line anytime at 1-855-463-4100 (TTY 1-800-955-8770). You can also text or call 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Remember: If your child visits the hospital for behavioral health, it’s important that they have a follow-up appointment with a behavioral health provider within one week of discharge. Members who complete the follow-up visit will earn a $20 reward. Learn more about rewards.
