When a parent is facing a cancer diagnosis, children need support too. Here at Mount Sinai, our Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy team creates safe, supportive spaces where children can process complex emotions, ask questions, and build healthy coping skills.

Through the work of Katherine Parker, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, Creative Arts Therapy Coordinator, families are guided with age-appropriate, therapeutic tools—using creativity, play, and conversation to help children understand and navigate illness with confidence and care. These offerings include developmentally appropriate education, as well as bedside and playroom activities designed to make medical experiences feel less overwhelming.

From everyday challenges to life-changing diagnoses, these services support children and families across many medical situations—and are there year-round, including during the holidays, when care and connection matter most.

We’re proud to highlight the work of our Supportive Services teams and the impact they have in helping children and families.
