Zero to Three Press Releases Guide on Young Victims of Trauma

JAN. 11, 2006 | Zero to Three Press has released a guide for helping children exposed to violence, war, natural disasters, and other types of trauma.

Hope and Healing: A Caregiver's Guide to Helping Young Children Affected by Trauma, a new book by Kathleen Fitzgerald Rice and Betsy McAlister Groves, is a guide for early childhood professionals who care for children in a variety of early care and education settings. The authors define trauma and help readers recognize its effects on young children. They also offer tips, resources, and proven intervention strategies for working with traumatized children and their families and for managing stress.

In announcing publication of Hope and Healing, the Press said, “In recent years, therapists, educators, and researchers have learned a great deal about children and trauma. Findings suggest that recovery often depends on early childhood professionals who understand children and trauma and have the skills to help children and support families.”

Hope and Healing is available at www.zerotothree.org/bookstore/.
