Healing Days

A sensitive and reassuring story intended for children who have experienced trauma.

A useful book to read with a parent, caregiver, or therapist, Healing Days emphasizes that children are not to blame for what happened, and that they can get help and look forward to a happy future. Covering the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that many kids have after a bad and scary thing happen, kids will begin to understand their response to the trauma and learn some strategies for feeling safer, more relaxed, and more confident.
