Timbi Talks about Addiction, is the nationally-acclaimed children’s book that has helped thousands of children build resilience by connecting their body’s response to trauma with age-appropriate techniques to help calm the central nervous system.  Timbi is designed to de-stigmatize the conversation about addiction. 

As we say often, necessity is the mother of all invention.  Unfortunately, that's the story behind this resource for children whose family members may be struggling with addiction.  Listen as we talk to co-authors and sisters, Trish Luna and Janet Hellier, as they talk about what prompted them to create this resource.  Find out what their goals are, what skills students learn through this resource, and how you can get involved.
