Free Tools for Advocates
We have assembled a suite of free tools for the benefit of professionals and parents who provide services to child abuse and neglect victims and adult survivors. These tools—which we intend to increase in number over time—are designed to help you be more effective in your work. Many of these tools are even beneficial for use with children who have always been safe.
Although we are offering many of these tools for free, we would very much appreciate a donation in exchange for them. We have spent a great deal of time and effort creating these tools, and your donation will go a long way toward enabling us to help more children throughout the world.

Our Tools:
Tips and Tricks for Working with Children in Residential Treatment Care – a guidebook to help child care professionals, foster parents, and adoptive parents—really anyone—manage and modify the behaviors of children with issues that may be related to abuse or neglect.
Growth Opportunities for Supervisors & Administrators Who Manage Residential Treatment Care & Educational Programs – a guidebook to help supervisors and administrators more effectively manage their direct-care staff.

Relaxation Narrative – a narrative designed to help children (and adults) relieve stress and tension in their bodies and minds; also a very good tool to help children fall asleep; based on hypnosis techniques.
Journal of Healing – a journal to help children discover themselves and their emotions—and to heal. It enables them to work through the issues in their lives while learning appropriate skills to cope with their feelings.
Positive Thoughts

How did one of the founders of Healing Embrace fall in love with advocacy work? It's all the fault of a little girl and her makeshift feelings box.
