This handout, by Kate Porterfield, PhD, includes guidelines on using techniques such as storytelling and bookmaking with children who have experienced trauma.

An example of a book featuring stories and art by young refugees is available here: My Name Is...

We also encourage you to review the webinar by Dr. Porterfield which addresses Serving Children who are Torture Survivors.

Developed by the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture program, this manual outlines a short-term, supportive, psychoeducational group therapy model for survivors of torture and severe war trauma. Goals, strategies and weekly planning information are included in this manual.

This manual is included here as it can be easily adapted to include or target reunified families.

This assessment guide was developed by the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture for use with torture survivors who have been granted asylum and are anticipating reuniting with members of their family. The measure collects demographic, social/legal needs, public assistance information to help plan for eventual arrival of family members.

This worksheet, taken from the free Getting to Outcomes ebook, can be used to assist in the process of developing a logic model when creating and evaluating a child/youth/family focused program.
