CHILL & SPILL’S IMPACT

This innovative book benefits various populations including kids affected by stressors such as illness, death, abuse, divorce, homelessness, etc. From the survivors of disaster to children of divorce – Chill & Spill helps youth convey both their suffering and strength, reducing the symptoms of trauma, facilitating healing, promoting coping skills and building self-confidence. We offer TRAININGS that enhance professional’s use of this unique resource.

A HEALING JOURNEY

Chill & Spill’s layout brings the user on a progressive journey of self-discovery. It begins with non-threatening, confidence-building activities and slowly leads towards trauma exploration, and then back out again into inspirational and aspirational goal-exploration.

Chill & Spill is effective because it gives youth a safe place for complete and total expression. It allows them to become active participants in their own healing, to communicate grief and loss, and to see themselves as survivors rather than victims – a critical step in trauma recovery. It works because it is an accessible and immediate resource and is based in cognitive behavioral, narrative and art therapies.
