Inspiring Creativity, Building Resilience
Creativity is more than just fun—it’s a powerful tool for well-being and problem-solving. Our Kids Adventure & Survival Packs encourage creativity while fostering emotional resilience in challenging times.
Helping Children Survive & Prosper After Trauma
Trauma can have a lasting impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being. As Dr. John Kruse, MD, PhD, explains:
“We know that trauma, defined as an experience that is perceived as dangerous, violent, or threatening, plays a large role in determining who develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.”
—John Kruse, MD, PhD (Wise & Well)
Our Kids Adventure & Survival Packs help children cope, heal, and regain a sense of control in uncertain times. They are also a source of comfort for children of First Responders and Military Gold Star Families, providing a creative outlet to express emotions and find moments of peace.
