A 10-Week Trauma Recovery Program for Children Ages 9–13

At V.O.I.C.E.S. Against Sexual Assault, we believe every child deserves to heal, grow, and thrive after experiencing trauma.

Healing VOICES for Kids is a 10-week, therapist-led group program designed specifically for children ages 9–13 who have experienced sexual trauma.

Through gentle, age-appropriate activities, Healing VOICES for Kids helps children:

  • Understand and express their emotions

  • Learn body safety and healthy boundaries

  • Build trust with safe adults

  • Manage anxiety, fears, and trauma-related worries

  • Strengthen resilience, confidence, and hope for the future

Each weekly session is structured around a key theme such as emotional regulation, calming the body, setting boundaries, using their voice, and building personal strength. Children will create personalized healing tools like Calm Kits, Story Stones, Courage Collages, and Healing Toolboxes to support their journey.

Our group offers:

  • A safe, supportive environment led by trauma-trained professionals

  • Fun and empowering activities that encourage healing without pressure

  • Practical coping skills that children can use at home, school, and beyond

  • Celebration of every child’s courage, progress, and unique journey

Optional individual support sessions and caregiver education resources are available to help families reinforce healing at home.
