St. Jude has a Place Just for Teens that Allows a bit of Normalcy
As we continue to help St. Jude in their efforts to treat childhood cancer, I wanted to share something else about St. Jude that I think is really, really cool. That really cool thing is their “Teen Scene”. A place just for teenagers who are being treated at St. Jude.
The Teen Program at St. Jude is for kids who are 13 and older who have been diagnosed. Within this program, they have what are called Child Life Specialists. The job of the Child Life Specialist is to help teenagers feel less stressed as they go through treatment. One way of doing this is by helping kids understand everything that is going on around them in the hospital. This doesn’t just mean giving them the how and why but the specialists also help prepare patients for upcoming procedures and test that they might need.
