Children respond to their senses. They trust what they sense to be right, not what is communicated at a cognitive level. Younger children do not respond to cognitive reassurance, "It's okay. You're safe." Younger children only feel safe at a sensory level.
       Helping Children Feel Safe gives the debriefer a series of sensory activities to help reestablish a sense of safety for children in the midst of trauma. The TLC Debriefing Handbook is also included in this program. The booklet, What Parents Need to Know, is included and is an excellent way to educate parents about trauma and what they can do to help their child.
     Also included in this program is the Brave Bart storybook. Brave Bart is a kitty who had something bad, sad and scary happen to him. Helping Hannah, a neighborhood cat, helps Bart overcome his fears and become a survivor. Brave Bart normalized the many trauma-reactions children experience. It is an excellent resource to use to talk to and comfort a traumatized child. It is also very beneficial when used with the Brave Bart and Helping Hannah puppets also included in this program.
