Working in non-profit agencies, I recognize resources are not always available to fund enough staff to meet the need in the community. I wanted to create resources that will be helpful to children who are on wait lists to receive counselling services and children who may never end up attending counselling for whatever reason.
Woodland Wisdom Books start out with tips for adults on how to help support children to tackle tough stuff. Then there is a story for children told in a straight-forward and honest way. At the end of the books, there are activities that I use as a Children's Counsellor, and you can do together, to help children learn how to process and express thoughts and feelings in healthy ways.
