Dr. Gil Kliman’s Kliman Epidemic Story workbook for children, tailored to the coronavirus outbreak. This is the workbook used all over the world to help children cope with traumatic events. It is mostly for pre-school and elementary school children but teenagers also use it. It is an effective way to help children cope with and work through trauma.
Children go at their own pace, working only on those sections with which they feel comfortable in any order, over several months or longer.
Drs. Joy and Howard Osofsky have developed two handouts to help children, youth, adolescents and families related to COVID-19.
