Star Treatment Books support Child Life goals!
For kids ages 5 - 12
For Teens
Our books are designed to improve and personalize the hospital experience by:
-
Fostering communication between
kids/teens and their medical team
in ways that are beneficial for all.
-
Helping kids/teens find fun while
at the hospital (that includes their
family members).
-
Supporting Patient and Family-Centered Care.
Star Treatment Books uniquely put kids in the driver's seat to help them participate in their treatment in a positive way. The books are filled with simple prompts for interaction and space to encourage patients to share concerns and ask questions. We focus on helping to build on-going rapport and trust with medical staff as a way to relieve fear and anxiety for the patient and their family. The books can accompany a patient throughout their hospital stay (or stays) and are not disease-specific and can be used by a child or teen that is hospitalized for any reason.
