Description
About the Book
This collection of activities helps care professionals adopt a trauma-informed approach to communicating with children. Worked examples based on real cases illustrate how the activities can help children to build trust with safe adults around them and develop healthy ways to process traumatic experiences.Book Synopsis
This expert guide provides 50 essential tools and activities to use in practice with children and young people who have experienced trauma.
From bubbles, balloons, and blocks to ghosts, monsters, and squiggles, this book offers a wealth of activities that help children to express their feelings and experiences while feeling safe and supported. Case studies demonstrate how each activity can be easily incorporated into daily interactions during social work practice, and clear explanations of the theory provide context for how they work. Developed from decades of hands-on experience supporting children after trauma, this book demonstrates ways to sensitively discuss children's histories. This can lead into discussing the way their experiences influence their behaviour, and help them to form healthy attachments for the future.Review Quotes
A beautiful, entirely practical book on the art of connecting with our stories. An essential addition for anyone working with children and young people who have experienced trauma and ruptured relationships.--Dr Lisa Cherry, Author, Researcher & Trainer
What an exquisite array! There has never been a more beautifully compiled nor lovingly collected "eclectic cupboard" to support trauma survivors. Rose has spent decades traveling the world, cultivating and gathering this unprecedented creative collection designed to help us connect with our young people. Readers will be dazzled with the scope and depth of the tools available to help clients reclaim and reshape their rightful stories. Your practice will never be the same!--Kendra Morris Jacobson, MA, Director of Oregon Post Adoption Resource Center
What an incredibly rich resource, filled with practice wisdom, illustrative case vignettes and diverse, creative direct work tools - all grounded in a solid research base. With a strong emphasis on playfulness in work with traumatised children, I can easily imagine myself regularly dipping in and out of this book.--Katie Wrench, author of Skills and Knowledge for Life Story Work with Children and Adolescents
