Keeping Up With Kids

Healing Library is a company that creates kits for purchase to help families process a traumatic event or situation.  They have made resources (activity sheets, discussion points, booklists, and more) available for free so that libraries can create and customize their own kits.  They worked with a licensed clinical social worker and a librarian to create these kits–and you can access them for your own use, either for creating kits or for readers’ advisory on challenging issues.  The topics available for free include:

Divorce
Death of a Loved One
Death of a Pet
Alzheimer’s and Your Family
