Project Title: Supporting Kids with Cancer Through the Arts
Project Description:

Kids & Art Foundation uses the power of the arts and creativity to mitigate stress, anxiety, and trauma induced from the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric cancer and other critical medical conditions. Our vision is for an integrated care model where participation in the arts is part of a regular treatment plan for all critically ill pediatric patients.

The aim of our work is making daily life-and outcomes-better for children and teens battling illness through every phase of treatment and recovery, including bereavement. While medical teams focus on treating the disease, funding and resources—including time—are scarce for addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of the disease. Cancer patients and their families suffer from a range of psychosocial issues, including PTSD, cancer-related fatigue, and social isolation.

Our programs provide opportunities for connection, enrichment, self-expression, and community for pediatric cancer patients and their families at no cost. Integral to our program design are professional artists, offering a unique, collaborative, and inspiring experience of creative engagement for the children.
