OUR LIBRARY MATERIALS
Our Library contains a variety of materials that you are welcome to use in any way. The arrangement is rather arbitrary, so you will want to check all categories. There are materials for all levels of understanding. Some materials are designed for survivors and families, while others are designed for professionals. One provider uses the materials to educate families by arranging a laptop and private location. Please let us know if you have success with these materials - and let us know your comments and suggestions.
