The tagline

The Map, The Compass, and The Anchor.

  1. The Map
  2. The Compass
  3. The Anchor

Three things to hold on to. Each story leaves a child with something to keep:

  • Coping skills
  • Awareness
  • Resilience

Trauma-informed by design

Written and designed with child psychologists

Amal for Children brings storytelling together with evidence-based therapy approaches, aimed at reducing symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety in children.

Three team members at work around a table with pen tablets and keyboards.

The psychologists shaped more than the script. Trauma-sensitive choices run through the writing and the picture:

  • Colour

    Colours chosen as part of the trauma-sensitive design.

  • Camera

    Camera angles designed with the psychologists.

  • Sound

    Sound designed with the same trauma-sensitive care.

Characters

From pencil to 3D

Concept sketches first, then the models the children will meet on screen.
