A card game that inspires connection and interpersonal skills. Players get to know each other and themselves better through listening well and sharing about things that matter. Great for virtual connecting, too. Age 7+

$17 (tax included) + $5 shipping/handling.

Practices to grow by — especially in challenging times. These cards have categories of coping practices: stress buster, expression, sensational, and building the inner helper-team. These are based on mindfulness, breathwork, trauma-informed therapy, communication skills, and art therapy. The game is simple: take turns choosing a card. Many cards include all players, and some cards are guessing cards and must be read silently. It helps to have an adult play and facilitate. Colored crayons or markers and paper not included.

$14 includes tax, plus $5 shipping/handling.

This is the deck-only version (no board or tokens) that lends itself especially well to virtual group and individual sessions where the focus is supporting a child (6-12++) who has a seriously ill loved one.

This deck of 225 cards teaches resiliency and coping through S.E.T. literacy (Somatic, Emotional, and Thought). These are made into 3 decks of 75 cards: Growth cards (S - somatic) teach coping practices, Heart cards (E - emotion) promote empathy, validation, and communication, and Compass cards (T - thought) provide bite-sized psychoeducation. Easy to play: shuffle well and pick a card. Because the heart cards have some intensity, the other two cards help titrate with practices and thinking.

Requires an adult therapist/parent/helper to facilitate. $29.94 tax included + shipping $5.

Note. These are the same cards from the All S.E.T. for the Land of Uncertainty board game, so if you purchase that, you won’t need additional cards; however, the quality of this deck is excellent and can stand alone, while cards in board games are perforated cardstock. Cards are 2”x3” and come in a box. You may also choose to add the board/pieces for an additional $19 (saving $19).

A colourful board game shaped as a map, The Land of Uncertainty reflects the journey of ups and downs implicit to a child’s experience of having a loved one with a serious illness. There are four main quadrants on the map representing common experiences in anticipatory grief: the hope-worry roller coaster, riding the waves of emotions, the confusion cave, and the stuck swamp.

Designed in accordance with both clinical and neuropsychological principles, the Land of Uncertainty addresses the experience of anticipatory grief and promotes coping and growth in the midst of this experience. There are 3 decks of cards that support S.E.T. literacy, which includes Somatic, Emotion, and Thought. As they develop S.E.T. literacy, children are better equipped for healthy coping and long-term resilience and growth.

This is a play therapy game intended to be facilitated by a helper, teacher, or therapist. $38 incl tax + $8 shipping.

Option: If you purchased the All SET for the Land for Uncertainty deck, you can purchase the board game and tokens without the perforated cards for $19.

First edition of All S.E.T the Land of Uncertainty with hand-drawn board vs digitized, pre-cut cards vs perforated sheets, and comes with bonus 2 packs of crayons.
