Recreational Therapies: the Healing Power of Play

The second 2023 webinar - Recreational Therapies: the Healing Play - will be held on June 15 from noon - 1 pm.

By participating in this event, participants will be able to:

Identify opportunities in Michigan for seriously ill children to participate in safe and beneficial recreational programs.
Know how families and colleagues can refer families for these and related programs.
Discuss the benefits of recreational therapy for children with serious and life-limiting illnesses and conditions.

Presenters include W. Patrick Smith, Cheryl Raguse and Amy Vining. Please click on their names to read their bios.

Optional donations are appreciated.

Making arrangements at the end of a child's life is something that is approached differently by every family and caregiver. Join PPCC for a Firefly Chat that will delve into this complicated conversation - one that is hard to think about and often even harder to initiate.

Our host and panelists will share their experience talking with different families, illuminating the incredibly diverse ways in which people plan, prepare for, and memorialize when a child's death occurs. Now more than ever, there is no standard, one-size-fits-all plan.
