Children have a natural tendency towards resilience, but when they experience a disaster, they need tools and support to promote positive coping. CLDR utilizes child life professionals’ expertise in child development and trauma-informed care to support children, help them mitigate the effects of trauma, and help restore their resilience.
In addition to our direct services provided at no charge in moments of need, we provide expert-led training and support for those seeking assistance while working directly with children:
