Healing Young Hearts: How Potch Trauma Recovery Helps Children Rebuild Emotional Safety

Every child deserves to feel safe, yet experiences like abuse, accidents, or loss can leave young minds carrying hidden scars. Childhood trauma often goes unspoken; a child may not have the words to explain their pain.

• Express difficult emotions safely through gentle play , using puppets, dolls, crayons, and pencils.

• Learn to manage fear and anger, reducing anxiety and outbursts.

• Experience relief sooner , many children feel lighter after just a few focused sessions.

Role play with puppets and dolls, together with drawing or colouring, helps a child open up when words are hard to find. Over time, this safe space becomes a place where hope replaces fear and where a child learns that they can thrive, not just survive.

In Potchefstroom, Haroldine Hill is dedicated to helping children feel safe, heard, and supported on their journey to recovery. With the right help, every child can rediscover their joy and confidence.
