Why it Matters
It’s no surprise that chronic illness and long hospital stays can impact a child’s emotional development, sense of identity, and overall well-being. Yet many hospitals are stretched thin, with limited psychosocial support—meaning the emotional and social care that helps children cope with the challenges of illness.
Our programs fill that gap by delivering child-led, joy-centered experiences that strengthen mental health, build resilience, and create meaningful moments of connection.

Up to 80% of children and their families experience some traumatic stress reactions following life threatening illness, injury, or painful medical procedures.
7x

27%
