Program areas at Encourage Kids Foundation
Escapes program: escapes are family activities and outings that are offered regularly to give children and their families a chance to have fun together away from the hospital so they can relax, regroup and return home with a renewed sense of strength and hope. Due to covid, these activities were all held virtually and still offered families connection and fun during an extremely isolating and stressful time.
Pediatric hospital support: this unique hospital program, now in its 19th year supports creative arts therapies including music, art and dance therapy, adapted yoga sessions for profoundly disabled children, sensory therapy, wheelchair accessible vehicles, recreational playrooms, horticulture therapy, a video artist-in-residence project, and many other creative projects that enhance the lives of hospitalized children.
Hospital happenings: working in concert with hospital staff, the Foundation offers a unique hospital program that provides psychosocial support for patients throughout our hospital partners. Hospital happenings help ease the loneliness, fear, and boredom that accompany hospital stays. Specialized hospital happenings include:clown program - children suffering from a wide range of illnesses have come to rely on weekly visits from clowns for large doses of happiness. For many years, medical professionals have recognized that those patients who maintained a positive mental attitude and shared laughter responded better to treatment. During covid, these visits transitioned to virtual when possible.
