Our team of dedicated and specially trained therapists have years of experience working miracles! Once immobile children have taken their first steps under supervised care – a world of possibilities opens up: adoption, foster care, perhaps even a chance to return home.

#emotionalResistance #wholeWorld
The publication of A Big Story About Me! – based in the recent research done about the importance of genealogical and cultural history for vulnerable children – will make this valuable resource available for children’s care homes, foster parents, and families who want their children, ages 4-8, to develop emotional resilience and connection. This will be followed in 2026 by Telling My Story, for children 9-14, and Writing a New Story, for young adults from 15-18.
