How to help

YOU CAN HELP TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN & YOUTH

We are currently taking suggestions for interventions or activities to include in the pamphlets. The suggestion could be as simple as a game that children could play to take their minds off their distressful situation. We are especially appreciative of ideas suitable for children and teens with special needs.
