MANAGING TRAUMA WORKBOOK FOR TEENS

Guide traumatized students through a carefully constructed recovery process aimed specifically at teens. Each module in the five-step process begins with a self-reporting assessment that helps both counselors and teens establish a numerical baseline describing behavior, attitude, and personality characteristics, while subsequent retesting enables counselors—and clients—to evaluate change. In the first module, writing prompts guide teens to tell "my trauma story," "thoughts about my trauma," "me before my trauma," and "who I am now." The second module elicits exploration of "my escapism" to reveal patterns of avoiding, suppressing, or self-harming. Additional modules introduce methods for managing reactions to trauma and suggest tools for coping. Activities in the final module aim to erase any stigma unduly attached to mental health issues arising from trauma. Designed for use in either individual or group settings. A correlated card deck provides conversation openers for kick-starting sessions. Spiralbound. 8½"x 11". Whole Person. Approximately 130 pages. ©2015.
