Tracy's Kids

Description

• Tracy's Kids helps young cancer patients and their families cope with the emotional stress and trauma of cancer and its treatment. Our mission is to ensure that the children and families we serve are emotionally equipped to fight cancer as actively as possibleand prepared for the time when they are cancer free.Tracy's Kids uses art therapy to engage with young patients, their siblings and parents so that they can express feelings and reflect on their treatment experiences. The program, which began at the Lombardi Cancer Center in 1991 and is based on the model developed there, employs Master's trained, Board Certified art therapists to address the multi-faceted needs of children with cancer through art and play therapy. The Art Therapists work with physicians, nurses and other medical personnel and are integrated members of the treatment team.Today, well over 70% of children diagnosed with cancer will beat the disease and live the overwhelming majority of their lives cancer free. We are dedicated to helping to ensure that the children we serve are ready to live full, happy and healthy lives.The programwhich is offered at no charge to the patient and his or her siblingsworks in hospitals and other appropriate settings, providing a child-centered, open studio approach for inpatients and outpatients while they receive treatment. We welcome the chance to work with siblings and parents because we know that the entire family is affected when a child has cancer.
