TCI Student Workbook -Audio Version

Therapeutic Crisis Intervention Student Workbook: A Trauma-Informed Approach

Written by Martha J. Holden along with Andrea J. Turnbull, Jack C. Holden, Richard Heresniak, Mary Ruberti and Eugene Saville. Published by the Residential Child Care Project, Cornell University.

The most important tool we have in helping chil­dren grow, develop and thrive, is ourselves. Most crises can be prevented if we meet children’s basic and developmental needs and help them feel safe. When we intentionally use ourselves in developing relationships, helping children learn and practice skills, facilitating activities, setting boundaries, reflecting on practice, and intervening in stressful situations, we help children grow and develop. Our ability to build relationships with the chil­dren in our care and treat them in an open, sensi­tive, consistent and caring way is the single most important contribution we make.
