Talking Point Support Cards

200 trauma-informed prompts for parents and carers to learn more about their child and the experiences they have had.

• Create an uplifting environment: Talking about trauma is difficult. One of the best ways you can support your child through this process is by initiating safe, comfortable conversations that unfold at an approachable pace.
• Gain invaluable insight: There is a whole lot to know that sits beneath the surface. Find out how you can better be there for your child by getting a fuller understanding of what exactly they’re going through.
• Encourage self-expression: The very act of bringing out and engaging with the cards demonstrates to children that their voice is valued and their opinions and emotions matter.
• Build deeper trust: Improve your parent-child relationship and relate on entirely new levels. Sharing a range of serious and silly things with one another will bring you closer and foster better day-to-day communication.
• Promote mindfulness: Equip your child with mental tools and strategies that will make their life easier. Many prompts in the Support Pack lend themselves to accessible conversations about the impacts of different perspectives and mindsets.
