Written by a leading expert with lived experience, chapters focus on the key areas for support workers to consider, including how to re-build trust, understanding safety, and managing sensory and emotional overwhelm. The resource is aimed at anyone supporting children who have experienced abuse, this book includes printable resource sheets and adaptable activities to support the child’s recovery journey.
