I'm a trainee and a bit proud of myself now as I just thought this morning I should split sessions and bring in the parents at the end and have the child teach them what they learned to empower them :) I now feel more confident suggesting this to my supervisor. I was also thinking about a treasure chest as opposed to a bag but the bag seems much easier. thanks!

I have used this technique with a group of bereaved children. We found it to be helpful for the children in the group and for their caregivers once they returned home; the bag and the tangible items inside prompted lots of discussion afterward.

This is a great idea! I teach my client's coping techniques all the time, but they often lose or forget them. This can keep them more organized, and remember where they can get them.

Thanks very much for sharing this technique. I have two of your books and often use them in my practice with children. I particularly enjoyed seeing a new intervention on this KZfaq format.

Great technique! I love that's it's a very concrete way for children to remember and practice coping skills. I've done something similar called a comfort kit.
