Helping in Hard Places provides school counselors and other mental health professionals with a blueprint for infusing trauma-informed practices into their counseling interventions in a way that supports all young people. The nature of trauma-informed practices is that, while they are needed to support young people of trauma, they are beneficial to everyone, whether they have experienced trauma or not. This is because these practices are composed of the purest and most needed supports that all humans need to overcome adversity- such as healthy relationships, routine, repetition, a safe environment, time, and patience. This book provides insights and recommendations for counseling all youth by incorporating trauma-informed practices for use with individuals, small groups or in classrooms.

Session plans and suggestions are provided in three sections:

Way to Goal! An Individual Counseling Guide
The Support Cohort: A Group Counseling Guide
Overcoming Strife in Life: Classroom Counseling Lessons

Activities include social-emotional learning games, art projects, mindfulness, biblio-counseling, role plays, and more. Sessions/lessons are planned for one hour each but can be easily shortened or lengthened. Optional extension activities are also provided. All three sections have various leveled activities, making them appropriate for use with students in upper elementary grades through high school. This book is suitable for both school and clinical settings.
