Several members of the Breakfast Club spent Saturday morning putting together Toolkits for Big Emotions for the Finally Home organization.
Children and youth who have experienced trauma often feel big emotions. The first step in being able to safely work through overwhelming emotions is to name them. We created a Finally Home Toolkit for BIG Emotions for children and for youth. The Toolkits equip parents, teachers, and caregivers to help young people correctly identify their emotions and establish calming strategies. Each Toolkit contains a Family Guidebook, Quick Reference Guide, and eight different concrete items that assist children in emotional regulation. Items in each kit are tailored to the two different age groups.
Since 2008, Finally Home has been equipping foster, adoptive, and kinship families to build healthy homes where children and youth can heal and thrive. For more information: https://finallyhome.net
