Help elementary-aged children through trauma by giving them strategies to help them cope.
Take a minute to consider a significant and unsettling experience in your life. It could have been something horrific, or something that others might not recognize as significant, but it made an impact on you, and you will always remember it. Such is the way trauma unfolds.
Traumatic events for children may be difficult to manage, discuss, or navigate without support.
Designed to accompany the Building Resiliency in Youth professional guide, this Activity Guide is filled with 33 trauma-informed, adult-led activities for children ages 5 through 12.The interactive, unique, and fun activities are focused around three skill-building themes:
- Processing feelings, emotions, behaviors, and actions
- Coping, grounding, and calming
- Confidence-boosting, strength and resilience
Included in the guide is a downloadable children's read-aloud with coloring pages, activities, and discussion prompts.
