Cozy has arrived in Spokane |
Our new Family Care Kits have arrived and we are very excited to be able to provide kids and families with these new resources. The kits contain Cozy and a "Cozy Care Journal," and "Along the Way, Documenting my Child's Journey ."
The journals will help children and parents' navigate and record not only the necessary specifics of treatment, but also express the emotional impact.
In addition, the kits include a duffle bag, blanket, Cozy pillowcase, Pjammin playing cards, an expressive cartoon pen, and Paul and the Dragon video "intended to initiate conversation about what is happening, and help alleviate the fears the child may have."
All new families will receive these resources along with our current bag. If your child is currently in treatment and you would like to receive these items, please call our office at 509-474-2759.
Cozy has already been exploring Spokane.
