Feelings are Okay (FRO) is a 10-step (16-page) debriefing exercise for children affected by the recent floods in New South Wales and Queensland.

The author, Dr David Goodwin is a counsellor who specialises in 'trauma prevention'. He has produced tools such as this one for use in many countries and disaster situations. He believes that by offering structured debriefing, such as what is set out in this book, children are more likely to process what has happened to them—or what they have been witness to—in a healthy way. This can help prevent the long term adverse effects of trauma and help build resilience in their lives.

This is a resource that parents, teachers, school chaplains, and kids workers can use. Although not designed as a counselling tool, it can also be used by counsellors. Copies can be downloaded from this site or you can order printed copies at no charge.
