While working on materials for my client’s work with therapists and other facilitators, I mentioned “Joann, this information would be helpful for everyone.” And so she wrote Everyone Can be Trauma Informed for the layman and had me design this interactive 40-page document which is available to everyone on the Practice Self-Regulation resources page.
Self-Regulation interactive PDF and children’s book
A selection of pages from the 40-page document, above, and a couple of the infographics, below.
Soon after, Joann adapted this information for young children. She presented me with illustrations from the very talented Rose Johnson. Rose was returning to her next year of college and had little time to work on followup, but provided her digital illustrations in a format I could work with to divide, combine, and swap backgrounds of various illustrations.
Joann and I worked on storyboarding—finding the right sequence for Joann’s vision and copy, and then I selected typefaces and styled the text. The result is a 16 page perfect-bound book available for purchase on the Practice Self-Regulation website.
