We believe all children & families should have access to child life support. That’s why we created Colorful Hearts. Our team is here to help your child overcome medical adversities, while providing support for the entire family. We know that these challenges don’t end when you leave the hospital and we believe neither should child life support.
Our mission
Individual Sessions
Each family and child is unique, and therefore requires an individualized plan. We are here to help provide appropriate language based on your child’s development to help them thrive. Sessions are all virtual unless otherwise discussed.
Session topics may include…
Coaching and education for caregivers on upcoming tests or medical procedures.
Education on a child’s understanding of death, grief, illness, treatment based on the child’s developmental level.
How to advocate for your child in medical settings.
Age Appropriate Education: Explaining cancer, why baby brother has to stay in the hospital and other life challenges that can be difficult adjustments for a child or family.
Grief & Bereavement Support: Providing support to your child while you are grieving is challenging. We are here to help ease that challenge, help your child understand grief and how to involve them in the funeral process.
