A resource to help children struggling with mental health issues. This toolkit was designed to accompany Butterflies in Me: An anthology bringing awareness to mental health. Professionals working with children will gain greater detail about the mental health diagnoses being managed by the main characters in each story, along with diagnostic criteria according to the DSM-V. Many of the activities included use self-reflection to help children identify and discover their abilities and talents. The author has included activities and questions to complete prior to and after reading the short stories. Before reading the stories, use designated activities to help prepare children who have extra energy, a short attention span, trauma history, and/or other symptoms which may manifest as challenging behavior. Then, after reading the stories, use specified activities to help children identify similarities with their own experiences, or those of others in their lives. Combine this professional resource with Learning to Love Your Butterfly Youth Workbook for a powerful tool to use with today's youth who deal with mental health issues.
