Our churches can be places for their flourishing, because Christ and his people will always be good news.Ed Drew  is the director of Faith in Kids.Amy Smith is a writer for Faith in Kids.Amy Woodfield is a Dramatherapist and works predominantly with children and young people who have experienced early life trauma.
