Did you find a brain in your handout tote?
That’s because we love brains! It’s our gift to you. It can be really challenging sometimes when we are loving and caring for children who have experienced adversity and trauma. We hope this little brain will remind you that we can always look behind the behaviors to find what is going on in the brain. And that is when we can provide safety and regulation for the kids we love.
