Therapeutic Stories
For thousands of years stories have been used by us all to entertain, inform, and provide a sense of connection. And stories can play an important role in supporting children who need a bit of help with a social or emotional need. These therapeutic stories are stories created with the aim of providing hope, guidance and healing around a particular issue.
