Beads of Courage Program
Are you familiar with the Beads of Courage Program? According to their website, “The Program is a resilience-based intervention designed to support and strengthen children and families coping with serious illness. Through the program children tell their story using colorful beads as meaningful symbols of courage that commemorate milestones they have achieved along their unique treatment path.”
I think this is a wonderful program and I’ve known many PH children who take great pride in their string of beads. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear about this program until my son was a teenager. At that point I think I was more interested than he was but we started a string for him anyway. We most likely underestimated the number of procedures and other medical experiences he had up to that point. To look at all the beads he had earned in 5 years was a real, “Wow” moment.
Does your child participate in the Beads of Courage Program and if not, here is a link so that they can get started.
