Art Therapy

The support association has been financing an art therapist since 1989. She works closely with the medical, nursing and socio-psychological team. With a material cart full of paints, papers and modelling compounds, she visits the children in the cancer wards. For many, the creative activity helps them to deal with their illness, their feelings, wishes and fears. Painting and designing is fun, touching and calming, enlivening and awakens curiosity and imagination.

Music Therapy

Like our art therapist, our music therapist works closely with the medical, nursing and socio-psychological team. Equipped with various instruments, he can visit the children with cancer being treated as inpatients at their beds or in the shared playroom and make music and sing freely with them. In the enormously stressful situation, both physically and psychologically, in which a child with cancer finds himself, music therapy can give the children a moment's break from everyday hospital life, awaken the joy of life, provide distraction, but also comfort, calm or help to deal with their own illness. Above all, however, it should be fun and become a positive experience in the extremely stressful situation and the often grey everyday hospital life.

"A cancer diagnosis is a heavy burden for the child and family. Thanks to the dedicated staff of the support association, you are not left alone with it."
Stefan Hänchen, Managing Director of Herbert Hänchen GmbH & Co. KG
