Artworks the Naomi Cohain Foundation

Intensive creative artists in residence (intensive cair): provides quality creative arts workshops in the hospital setting for children and young adults suffering from chronic and life-threatening illnesses and their siblings. Workshop leaders are professional artists that are trained to work with the pediatric population in the hospital setting. "intensive cair" is designed to teach patients new skills, help them explore new materials, keep them active and engaged and give them opportunities to express and communicate their thoughts and experiences in a creative and positive way. Results have proven that collaborative creative activities serve to reduce stress and anxiety, decrease attention to pain and normalize the hospital experience for the young patients and their families.

Surprise!supplies: "surprise!supplies" are delivered to children in bright and colorful, custom designed mobile art carts. These supplies keep patients and their siblings busy creating art, while aniticpating a long day in treatment or accompanying a sibling to a medical procedure.
