When PTSD Comes Home
Practical, compassionate books for children and families living with PTSD.
You are not alone. These resources help families begin honest, age-appropriate conversations, understand difficult moments, and find a path forward together.
A Story That Helps Children Understand
PTSD can change the way a parent feels, reacts, and connects with the people they love. Children often notice those changes before anyone explains them. My Family Lives With PTSD gives families a gentle place to begin the conversation. Through a child’s eyes, it offers understanding, reassurance, and the reminder that no one has to face this alone.
A Companion Toolkit for Families
The Companion Coping Toolkit gives families practical ways to keep the conversation going. It includes simple activities, calming tools, and pages that help children name feelings, build routines, and feel safer during difficult days. Use it alongside the story book or as a supportive resource for home, counseling, churches, and classrooms.
A Note for Caring Adults
These books are designed to encourage understanding and family conversation. They are not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, or crisis support.
