Mending Me, LLC

Mending Me, LLC Each of the therapeutic toys is a communication tool to aid in healing for children and adults who are working through trauma in their life.

Founded September 2010, Mending Me,™ LLC is an Austin, Texas based company formed to provide products to aid in the treatment and healing of children. The Mending Me,™ LLC strategy is to provide therapists, providers and teachers a means of communication with children who have been abused, suffered trauma, or have special needs impacting their ability to communicate. Mending Me,™ LLC therapeutic

toys provide the child with an opportunity to select one of three toys. Each toy comes with a letter that introduces the toy to the child and sets the stage for the healing to begin. This simple action is a way of giving the child choice and control which the trauma, abuse, or condition has taken away. The child then has an opportunity to connect with the toy through play, enjoy and embrace the softness and comfort that it provides while at the same time displacing some of the emotional trauma he/she has experienced onto the toy. How are Mending Me,™ LLC Therapeutic Toys different? These plush therapeutic toys are not human like. There is a heart space that houses the heart and a Velcro pocket which holds the letter and provides an alternative space for the heart. The child has options when playing and communicating through this therapeutic toy. The heart was created with two sides, a broken side and a mended side and is encased in the heart space to represent the walls which can form when a child undergoes trauma. The therapeutic toys also provides an opportunity for a child to alert the provider asking for help, which can be concealed to the unknown observer. The pocket also provides a place for a child to insert a piece of paper and write messages to the therapist or others, which again can be their safe hiding place to the unknown observer. This unique feature of the toy allows the therapist to gain additional clues regarding how the child currently is feeling about him/herself. Each one of the plush toys was designed to promote healing for children of all ages.

Children who experience emotional trauma need me to step up to the plate and get the word out to professionals and families about helping children heal through play to become happy children once more.
Helping children who have experienced emotional trauma is a passion for me as it is for all professionals and families who care for these children. As a child who was abused, I know the myriad of emotions and trauma that they face-guilt, anger no trust, fear, loneliness, sadness, loss. I have looked at multiple approaches and know that I have found the key to helping the child:
Heal
Have a plan to be safe
Regain trust
and
Let go of the trauma.
Healing through linking play with the mending heart™ will accelerate the child’s ability to let go of the trauma and become a child once more.
I’m looking for a few therapists and counselors to show this strategy, the “mending heart” that will help you in your sessions with the child to play, to talk, to trust, be safe and to heal and become a child once more. If you are interested in finding about this strategy, please type “info” in the comments below or in messenger and I will send you a private message with the details!

I attended the annual AHNA conference in June in Palm Springs, California. I was also a presenter. It was a privilege to speak on my passion. A Vision of Wellness for Children Who Have Experienced Emotional Trauma.

Did you know there are over 9 million children treated in emergency departments at hospitals with injuries each year. Over 150,000 children are born each year with disabilities that require treatment-often long periods of treatment and some require multiple surgeries. There are 40,000 children who receive chemotherapy and or radiation annually. Over 5 million calls are made each year for suspected abuse and neglect. These numbers do not include bullying and child trafficking.

Now imagine being able to create opportunities to prevent these events from occurring. Imagine creating tools that would aid in healing so these children can experience wellness and wholeness and being all they are meant to be.

Mending Me had tools to aid in the prevention and treatment of children who have experienced emotional trauma. These tools are effective as is sand therapy, dance, and other tools.

However, it's important that there are a variety of tools for prevention and treatment. That's where you come in. What is your passion? How can you help so that more children experience healing, wellness and wholeness.
We can do this together. Each of us can do our part. You can make a difference.

I just received word that our website is down. The platform which manages my website was compromised. Daniel is evaluating whether we should move to another platform or stay with the current one. So, if anyone desires to order one of the toys, please call me directly so that you can receive the therapeutic toys in a timely manner.

Thank you for your patience.
