Volunteering in a Box: Therapy Dolls

Looking for something fun to do and give back to your community?

Therapy dolls can help children and seniors feel useful and needed and give them something positive to focus on especially while going through treatment. Similar to the effect of soft toys like stuffed animals, hugging something soft and relatable helps the children and seniors feel comforted and soothed.

Many kids personalize the doll when they receive one and doctors use them as a mechanism to be relatable to the situation happening while they are at the hospital.
