Caring for Kids from Hard Places

9,99 $

Eight-year-old Anya spent her first three years of life in an orphanage in Eastern Europe.

Six-year-old Luke’s father is an abusive alcoholic, and his mother is rarely around.

Fourteen-year-old Johnny’s troubled past means he won’t let anyone get close.

Children and teens with a traumatic past-or present-are everywhere: in our classrooms, on our sports teams, part of our after-school programs, in our churches, and at our summer camps. If you teach, lead, coach, mentor, or parent, David and Jayne Schooler want to help you help these kids. They know that adults who learn to see through a trauma-informed lens are better equipped to create an environment where children from difficult backgrounds can grow and thrive.

Caring for Kids from Hard Places will help you understand not only the behavior of hurting children but also how to help them heal so that our churches, schools, teams, programs, and homes can become places where healing happens.
