Pretty Tough Stuff, Dude! A Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Workbook for Children

This booklet is a revision of a chapter of a book published in 1996 by the Safer Society Press. It was developed for chidlren who suffer from the effects of trauma. This update focuses on man-made disasters as well as other forms of trauma. We have revised it particularly for children who may experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after watching the terrible images of terror, and for the thousands of children whose lives were personally altered by the horrific events of September, 11 2001. However, it does not focus on thsoe events specifically and can be utilized with other types of trauma as well... This booklet can be utilized by parents and caregivers as well as by professionals. It is not meant to be completed in one sitting. Rather, it is best to work on only a few pages at a time. It is our hope that this booklet will help in the healing process for children who are struggling to recover from the effects of trauma they have experienced.
