Walking the Journey Together

The diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer or blood disorders can be challenging for the entire family. The Hope and Cope Psychosocial and Education Program at Children’s of Alabama is here to provide emotional support and services once your child is diagnosed. We use a family-centered care approach in which the family and healthcare providers work together to best meet the patient’s needs.

The Hope and Cope Psychosocial and Education Program offers the following activities and programs to decrease stress during hospital or clinic visits:

• Expressive activities (art, music, drama, narrative, movement, drumming and rhythm circle)
• Hand in Paw Animal-Assisted Therapy
• Weekly inpatient caregiver support group dinner
• Daily inpatient group school or bedside instruction
• STAR (School/Social Transition and Re-entry)
• Individual and family therapy
