Children and teenagers facing cancer endure not only the harsh effects of treatment but also emotional stress-anxiety, fear, irritability, and withdrawal. Our play center provides a safe space that boosts motivation and mood through positive reinforcement, which helps strengthen their immune system and supports their special educational needs. This emotional and physical care is essential to improving their overall health and resilience during treatment.
Cancer is a serious health challenge that disrupts a child's daily life, especially during hospitalization due to their critical condition. Children undergoing cancer treatment need not only specialized medical care but also emotional support, which plays a vital role in their recovery whenever possible. The harsh effects of chemotherapy, combined with uncertainty about their future, often cause intense stress in children-expressed through anxiety, fear, behavioral changes, and irritability.
Our methodology consists of setting specific therapies that will be used in patients within a different age range. These therapies will be followed-up at least during 6 months, during which several cognitive and emotional aspects, as well as lab test will be assessed. When the period result assessment of the study has elapsed, the study therapies with the most positive impact on patients will be determined. As patients' psychological health improves, physical recovery improves faster.
Entertainment workshops offer experiences that satisfy some of the specific needs of the hospitalized children and teenagers (most of marginalized communities). When patients get involved in games or in any creative activity, they enjoy themselves and their self-esteem improves. It benefits their comprehensive development and improves their life quality. Relevant achievements result from these therapies, because of the resulting improvements in patients' mood and immune system.
