Project Title: Behavioral Health Project for Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Laughter League\u2019s mission is to engage and empower everyone we serve with the healing power of laughter. Utilizing our talents as a highly-trained company of performing artists, we create moments of levity and healing, empowering patients and emboldening hope. We bring empathy, authenticity and therapeutic humor to pediatric hospitals, care facilities, schools and more, using laughter as an agent of hope through the art of clowning and the transformational power of laughter.<\/p>\n
Through 13 weekly programs, LL brings 40 professional therapeutic clowns to over 100,000 children and families in six major hospitals: Boston\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, Cook Children\u2019s Health Care System (Fort Worth), Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital (Providence), Hassenfeld Children\u2019s Hospital (NYC), Parkland Health (Dallas) and Seattle Children\u2019s Hospital. This year, LL will launch a new partnership with Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA).<\/p>\n
LL respectfully requests $10,000 to support its Behavioral Health Project at CHOA, which will enable LL to reach approximately 1500 new pediatric patients in 2025. With over 60 pediatric programs, CHOA is one of the largest US pediatric clinical care providers and is at the forefront of behavioral health treatment.<\/p>\n
In order to best serve patients, LL performers train with Milieu therapists and collaborate closely with hospital staff. In a typical visit, LL performers spend 30-45 minutes interacting with small groups of 6-12 kids. LL clowns bring an interactive arts activity (such as music, magic, circus skills or storytelling), which is then shared with the group using LL\u2019s skills as high-level improvisers. Afterwards, performers and hospital staff debrief, discussing patients\u2019 experiences and needs.<\/p>\n
With the Foundation\u2019s support, LL will be able to make a large difference in the lives of CHOA patients, while also providing the necessary modeling needed to build similar programs in LL\u2019s other partner hospitals, exponentially growing the grant\u2019s impact.\n<\/p>\n
