Did you know that The Trusted Trio has therapeutic activities at the end of it?
We even added references to a children's book 😲
Eriana DeKalita-Mull and Mandy are the contributors to 2 of 3 of these activities. But they also ensured that there was a multidisciplinary approach to the therapeutic practices throughout the entire book!
Thanks for all your hard work! And thanks to Northern Michigan Alliance for Children for making these books possible!

We’re so excited for this book! I couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals who care about this topic!
It’s definitely more than just a book. This work encompasses what we want to teach children and adults about coping with trauma. It’s in the text, and carefully depicted in the illustrations. Also, for those of us with childhood trauma, it’s what we wish we would have had available to us and our adults as children.
It’s now available in English and Spanish on Kindle, and physical copies are available for preorder!
