Did you know…❓Often, kids may experience the l Did you know…❓Often, kids may experience the loss of an important relationship quite suddenly, such as a parent, pet, teacher, friend, or even an unexpected death. Without being able to prepare for the goodbye, kids may internalize the loss as rejection. ⠀ ⠀ In our therapy department, we get the opportunity to model healthy endings of relationships. Preparing kids from the start and counting down to the last session helps them anticipate and process feelings about the goodbye. ⠀ ⠀ Finally, we celebrate their therapy graduation by focusing on their growth and the achievements they made along their therapy journey. We commemorate the end with the decoration of a lantern they get to take home as a positive reminder of their experience. ✨
The lantern mural we have in our therapy office re The lantern mural we have in our therapy office represents the transformative healing process that children experience during their therapy journey at New Hope. Although trauma has far-reaching effects, with the right conditions, the right care, and the will to overcome, healing is possible! ⠀ ⠀ This photo is an example of a lantern that a child gets to decorate during his or her last therapy session with us. The children keep these lanterns as a reminder that they are not alone, that they are heard and believed, and that just like the lantern, there is light inside of them. ✨ ⠀ ⠀ This is why New Hope exists - to help and heal our children - and it is only possible because of the support we receive from community members like you. Even a “small” donation of $10, $20, or $30 goes a long way, and we are certainly appreciative of every penny dedicated to funding our mission. ⠀ ⠀ Join us in celebrating this season by giving hope and healing to a child in need. Click the link in our bio to donate online. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you for your support! #GivingTuesday

Today is World Day for the Prevention of Child Abu Today is World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse. This day was started in 2000 by the Women’s World Summit Foundation with the goal of ending abuse, exploitation, trafficking, and all forms of violence against children. Even though Blount County is a small part of the world, child abuse still happens here. It is up to us to protect our children by learning how to prevent it. One way is to attend one of our free 2-hour Stewards of Children trainings. Visit our website to learn more and get registered today.
