Splashes of Hope
I was recently made aware of a wonderful association called Splashes of Hope. They provide beautiful and creative wall paintings to various medical locations. This group is a non-profit and relies heavily on volunteers, including the brilliant artists who donate their talents. Reading the feedback is so great; they have placed all comments in categories such as patient/staff, corporate, and volunteer. There are even a few reactions from Child Life Specialists and how important the environment is to helping the child feel at ease in the midst of scary and unknown healthcare situations. The history behind this foundation is truly special and inspiring. Even though it is not exactly the same as Child Life, I have always been interested in the world of Art Therapy because I feel like it is such a powerful facet of healing that not many tend to focus on very much.
