Presence is a practical guide for those who help survivors of trauma. It discusses activities and exercises that are found to be effective in the many years that Dr. Ma. Lourdes “Honey” A. Carandang and her team have worked with children and families who have experienced the debilitating effects of trauma. It also gives a framework on trauma and healing that helps both the survivor and the helper to have a compassionate understanding.

Most importantly, it is anchored on Dr. Carandang and her team’s innovative approach and deep belief in the inner resilience of every human being even in the most difficult of times.
