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.

An extensive Note to Parents and Caregivers, including a list of helpful resources, is available for download on APA.org.
