Over 1 million children have cuddled a colourful, comforting Trauma Teddy since we first started hand-knitting them back in 1990.
Trauma Teddies provide care in so many ways:
At last count, more than 600 volunteer knitters and knitting groups hand knit Teddies in Australia. They lovingly craft around 50,000 Trauma Teddies a year. That’s a huge number of children who each year receive the care of a teddy bear.
Answers to many common questions about Trauma Teddies can be found here.
