Play and Prepare Sessions
Helping you prepare your child and your family for upcoming hospital stays and procedures through play-based activities.
Play and Prepare
For a lot of children who have experienced long term hospital admissions or invasive procedures, the thought of going back into to hospital can cause big feelings of stress and anxiety prompted by fear. In order to help children, their parents and the entire family unit for upcoming hospital visits, we are working in partnership with the Play Department at RBHSC to help parents to prepare through play!
Our trained Family Support Worker is available to visit you and your family in the safe, familiar surroundings of your own home to pass on some helpful, age appropriate activities and play based techniques you could use to help familiarise your child with some of the real equipment that may be used in hospital and people they may meet through the use of role play, toys and craft based activities. Our Family Support Worker can also open up a referral pathway to the Play Specialist on Clark Clinic.
