It is a profession that does not directly treat the body, but has a proven impact on treatment outcomes, patient and family experience, and long-term mental health.

Foundation #ForGood We are pioneers in Bulgaria in this direction.

We are the first to actually work towards introducing such a position in the Bulgarian healthcare system.

We are already in contact with the Association of Child Life Professionals and are actively discussing adapting the model in our country, while at the same time working on creating a pilot project. A project that involves real efforts, research, meetings, analyses, and the search for a sustainable model that would work in Bulgarian conditions.

In our reality, this profession can be a key part of solving a number of problems in children's healthcare, including staff shortages and the enormous burden on medical teams.

 

Because there is always someone needed,

who can take on the emotional care.

Someone to be there for the child when he is afraid.

Someone to be there for the parent when they don't know what's coming.

Someone to make the work of doctors and nurses easier,

so they can focus on the medical part.

We believe that the future of children's healthcare is complex.

And that care includes treatment and understanding, support and humanity.

Therefore, on this day, we say thank you once again, dear people involved in social care!

And we continue to work,

to have more people in the system,

who should carry this particular care.

Follow our page, in the coming weeks we will introduce you to this role, its importance, and its path to Bulgaria in more detail.
