Meet the new Gus!

Gus Chronicles I
The Gus Chronicles: Reflections from an Abused Kid is used in numerous treatment programs, schools, and colleges throughout the world to help people better understand and respond to young people who have suffered various forms of abuse and live in out-of-home placements.

Our newly revised and updated version is the same ol' Gus but contains new insights and information that will help readers to develop an even greater empathic connection with our most vulnerable but courageous kids.

The new cover was created by Maureen Burdock, an award-winning artist from San Francisco.

What they're saying about Gus:

"The Gus Chronicles I is as powerful an experience now as it was when first published in 1994. The Gus Chronicles I is, quite simply, the perfect book for training youth care professionals at all levels of experience. If you are in the business of taking care of other people's children, I highly recommend getting to know Gus."

—Rick Small, Ph.D.
CEO, Walker Home School

"Textbooks just can't say it like Gus does."

—Larry Brendtro
President, Reclaiming Children and Youth

What they’re saying about our new posters:

Charlie Appelstein has created fresh, colorful, eye-catching, and motivational posters that speak directly to the students.

When I first displayed his sample posters in my classroom, the kids noticed them right away and were very receptive to the messages.

After a student read the “I am smart poster,” she turned to me and said: “You know miss, I am smart no matter what other people believe.”

—Ermina Coric
Social Studies Teacher
Rise Up Academy

"I love these posters! I had a huge understanding of each one. Keep this up. They make you feel good!"

—Malle
Eighth grade student in New England

"The posters are beautiful and will be hung throughout my school. Great messages!"
