RCR Therapeutic Book Project by ALIANTA

Romana is a 9-year-old girl who was hospitalized for the treatment of gastritis, together with her mother.  Though Romana was suffering from stomach pain, her mother was at a loss about how to help her. 
The pediatrician suggested that they read "What's going on with Tami",  as a way to pass the time and distract from the pain. The story not only helped Romana cope better with her ordeal, but it also created a precious bonding moment for mother and daughter. 

Healing comes from more than just medicine. Help us get more books to Romanian hospitals.

Alianta is partnering with RCR for the 2021 Inocenti Children's Therapeutic Book Project.

 

Following the U.S. Child Life model, Inocenti-RCR, a team of psychologists and medical partners illustrated the first series of seven children's books helping pediatric patients understand pain anxiety, nausea and the importance of receiving help and treatment.

 

Through this project, books are distributed to kids and their parents to provide counseling and support during their hospital stay. In 2020, 1,000 Innocenti books were distributed. More books are needed across Romania.

Every $5 provides a book to a child in the hospital!

 

Help us deliver 2,000 books to hospitals, schools and clinics across Romania.
