Hugs & Hope - A Guide To Cope

Hugs & Hope - A Guide To Cope grew out of my own kitchen-table talks with hurting children who did not have the words for their worries. This gentle guide uses simple language, stories, and reflection activities to help youth name their feelings, calm their bodies, and ask for help without shame. I often see anxious, quiet students relax as they work through the pages, realizing they are not "crazy" or alone. Parents and counselors keep it nearby for grief, bullying, or big life changes. When a child you love is overwhelmed and you are not sure what to say, this book becomes the hug and the hope you can place in their hands.
