This is your opportunity to pre-order the game One Child's Heart! Books, dice, tokens, and PDFs are all available. There are pivotal moments in every child’s life that shape who they become. One Child’s Heart is a tabletop roleplaying game that invites players to take the role of child welfare professionals participating in a new mental health care memory exploration experiment. The Central Limbic Engagement Recovery System (CLERS – pronounced, “clears”) brings characters into the memories of these key moments to give support and guidance to a child who needs both. Professionals help create connections and teach resilience to children who desperately need someone to care about them. The heart of this game centers on the power of a conversation. People that have a willingness to reach out to another human being in need have the power to effect real change. In this game, as in life, connections start by being brave and having a conversation. That can begin by simply asking, “Are you OK?” During the Memories, the Professionals interact with the child through conversation, finding ways to get the child to open up and hear the support the professionals are offering. The Professionals walk into the middle of a memory that they don’t have any context for, especially at the beginning of the game. They need to move beyond the surface of what’s happening to discover why the experience is so impactful to the Child find a way to build trust and get them to open up before the memory ends.

Hello all!
Progress on the game is still moving along smoothly! Both the tokens and dice have been ordered and are currently in production. We should have those before the end of September. I'll post pictures when we have them in hand.
The Memories are 99% done heading off to the editor soon. When layout and editing are done on the core book and stretch goal memories we'll be ready to send the main book off to the printer. That's when we'll open up the BackerKit store for pre-orders and to collect shipping. You'll be able to keep your address current right up until we're ready to ship.
We've added and playtested a sixth Professional to the game! Here is the current description from the game:
"The Community Leader is an activist and liaison that works alongside the official child welfare system to improve accountability and strengthen children’s rights. They work directly with children, may speak in court, and work with non-profit organizations. These Leaders are a loud voice for the community they represent and they spend time directly working with and listening to the children that need their help.
There are many ways that you could make more money but your passion and dedication for the future of children keep you firmly rooted where you are. The days are long, the coffee is cold, but the work can change the world.
Community Leaders include Tribal Elders, activists, advocates, mediation specialists, family law specialists, and others."
As always, thank you for the support in making One Child's Heart a reality.
Camdon and the team
