Talking to My Mum: A Picture Workbook for Workers, Mothers and Children Affected by Domestic Abuse

Talking to My Mum is an activity pack designed for children aged 5-8 who have experienced domestic abuse.

It encourages children to open up about their distressing experiences through illustrated worksheets featuring animal characters. These activities help children explore memories, such as changes in living arrangements or happy times with siblings or toys, and connect these memories with emotions.

The pack includes guidance for mothers and children to work through together, improving communication about their past, present, and future. It’s a valuable tool for families, social workers, and professionals working with children affected by domestic abuse.
