Background
Throughout history there have been major events that can cause trauma to human beings. Some of those events are natural disasters, others caused by man's inhumanity to man.
These traumatic events, if not addressed, can cause major Psychological ramifications throughout our lives. This is especially true of the most vulnerable and youngest among us… our children.
The Heroes of Light concept was the brainchild of John Sullivan and developed in collaboration with Sylvia Toth of the Netherlands.
HOL is based upon the knowledge that 80-90% of all children get little to no assistance in dealing with traumatic events. Those events can massively affect a child's future if not dealt with.
Using knowledge of how people best learn and the fact that children enjoy learning best while having fun. We combine that with psychological principles such as projective identification and finally developed the technological delivery of the process, you have a solution to hopefully provide help to the vast majority of the children.
The underlying processes we use from each field are not new, their combination and delivery is what is innovative.
We strive to find the solution to reach the vast majority of the children, those who never get any assistance.
