Embracing Mental Health: The Transformative Power of Art Therapy

Art therapists create a ‘road map’ that allows young patients to navigate their medical journey. At Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, the art therapy program plays a pivotal role in promoting mental health and well-being for young patients. By merging the therapeutic benefits of artistic expression with clinical knowledge, art therapists empower patients to journey through their medical challenges. This creative process aids in managing chronic pain, regulating emotions, strengthening family connections, and creating meaningful legacies for those in palliative care..

Receive online second opinions with Stanford physicians

Second opinions are a critical component to making informed decisions about you or your child’s care. That’s why we’ve partnered with Stanford Medicine Physicians through Included Health, to provide second opinions easily and securely through an easy to use online platform.

How it works: A Stanford specialist will receive a full set of medical records to review your child's case. You and your local physician will receive an in-depth report back which includes a review of the current treatment plans and suggestions for more appropriate treatment options, if applicable.
