The land of child protection

Protecting children means respecting their individuality, making them aware of what they are going through, listening to their point of view and keeping it in mind when drafting a plan to help them.
This book enables professionals to accompany children in their understanding of what they have experienced and what they are experiencing, with the aim of helping them find the best way to overcome their trauma.
Many activities — even those regarding the most delicate issues — are presented in a recreational way.
The book contains a brief theoretical introduction and a wide selection of worksheets, which covers different phases: referral, assesment, planning,
therapy.
Each worksheet requires — with the help of the friendly kangaroo Brownie — the active participation of the child, who is asked to draw, tell a story and answer important questions, allowing a personalised «logbook» to be created.
The entire programme can be used from start to finish, or worksheets can be dipped in and out of according to professional role, intervention phase, own preferred methods or the individual case needs and circumstances.
The land of child protection will prove to be a precious, everyday tool, for operators, the children and the families. It targets psychologists, child neuropsychiatrists, social workers, youth workers, teachers, criminal investigation officers and also foster and adoptive parents.
