Support Our Healing: Helping Young People With Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Medical Needs A guide for health professionals, educators, and c (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648828877)

What do you do when a child shuts down and you don't know why?

When they're overwhelmed but can't find the words to explain it?

When nothing you say seems to help-and you're left feeling powerless, confused, or scared you're making things worse?

Support Our Healing gives you answers-from someone who's lived it.

Siobhan Wilson was born three months early, had open heart surgery at six weeks old, and grew up navigating a world of medical trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence. She knows what it's like to be the child who cries and no one knows why.

This isn't just her story. It's a guide written for the adults who show up: the teachers who care but don't know what to do in a meltdown, the nurses and doctors who want to help but don't see the fear behind the smile, the psychologists and social workers who wonder why certain strategies aren't working, and the parents who lie awake at night trying to figure out how to reach their child.

Written in Siobhan's raw, relatable, and easy-to-read voice, this book brings together lived experience, practical insights, and powerful reminders of what really makes a difference.

You'll learn what helped, what hurt, and what every adult supporting a child with complex medical and mental health needs deserves to understand.

You don't need to have all the answers.

You don't have to be perfect.

You just need to be present.

You just need to stay.

Let Siobhan show you how.
