The Ryan Crout Art Therapy Program offers children with cancer an opportunity to express their creativity, desire for normalcy and hope through drawing and painting. It also provides children and their siblings a pleasant distraction from the hospital setting. The program is named in memory of Ryan Crout, a little boy who found joy in the midst of his cancer diagnosis through expressing his feelings through drawing.

 
“Children approach the arts as children first, not as children with cancer. Art Therapy allows a child to express his or her feelings about their immediate world in a non-threatening and enjoyable way. I am grateful for the funding Children's Chance provides for this very important program.”

Lyssa Harvey, Licensed Art and Play Therapist
