About us our program
Striving to improve quality of life for children and their families, we have developed a programme focused on strengthening the relationships strained by the disease and facilitating a stronger connection with others. Co-created with Childhood Cancer International, a multidisciplinary scientific committee and families, as well as patients associations, this programme is based on three tools:
The ‘parent/child massage’: a set of gentle, fun movements developed with healthcare professionals to offer families an emotional pause. Through touch, parents and children can reconnect and share a tender moment, where well-being overcomes pain.
The emotion scale : a tool for assessing and communicating about the emotional state. Its aim is to help children identify and express their emotions, based on the universal principle of the pain scale.
A digital platform offering reliable information and resources to support children, parents and loved ones on key topics for quality of life, such as communication, dealing with change and emotions, etc.
