Children’s Safety & Healing Resource Library

Books, coloring books, board books, games, therapeutic aids, and curricula that support prevention, healing, and disclosure.

How This Catalog Is Organized

These resources are sorted by who they are for — because the right tool depends on who is holding it. A board book belongs in a toddler’s hands; a forensic interview doll belongs only in a trained clinician’s. Knowing the difference keeps a child safe.

Every entry includes a Translation field. “Not announced” means the publisher has not officially released non-English versions; “None” means English-only with no plans noted.

A word before you begin. Some of these materials prevent harm; others help a child heal after it. They are not interchangeable, and they should not be blended. Within each age group below, you’ll find them clearly separated into Body-Safety & Prevention, Healing & Expression, and Play & Communication. Start where your child is.
