Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
CHILD'S PLAY IMPROVES THE LIVES OF CHILDREN THROUGH THE POWER OF PLAY.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
STARTED BY THE FOUNDERS OF PENNY ARCADE, INC., MIKE KRAHULIK AND JERRY HOLKINS IN 2003 UNITING THE GAMING COMMUNITY AND HIGHLIGHTING THE GOOD IN THE INDUSTRY WHEN GAMERS GIVE BACK! FOCUSING ON HELPING IMPROVE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE, CHILD'S PLAY WORKS CLOSELY WITH CHILD LIFE DEPARTMENTS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR TECHNOLOGY NEEDS, PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO GAMING ROADBLOCKS AND SUPPORT THEIR HOSPITALS PROGRAM WITH IN-KIND AND CASH CONTRIBUTIONS. WE SUPPORT MORE THAN 180 HOSPITALS AND IMPACT MORE THAN 1MILLION KIDS EACH YEAR.
IN RECENT YEARS, CHILD'S PLAY HAS HEAVILY FOCUSED ON GAMING AND TECHNOLOGY SPECIALISTS. THESE POSITIONS INSIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS HAVE PROVEN TO ENHANCE THE PATIENTS EXPERIENCE WHILE CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS INCLUSIVE AROUND GAMING. THESE TECHNOLOGY SPECIALISTS PROMOTE IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY TO HELP PROVIDE DISTRACTION DURING PROCEDURES. THIS CAN HELP KIDS GET HOME SOONER AND HEAL QUICKER. CHILD'S PLAY HAS FUNDED 30 OF THESE POSITIONS TO DATE THROUGH CAPACITY BUILDING GRANTS AND CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL DONOR/SPONSOR SUPPORT TO GROW THIS PROGRAM. THESE GRANTS ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO SUPPORT THIS NEW POSITION IN 2 TO 3 YEARS.
WE KNOW NOT ALL CLINICIANS AND CARETAKERS IN AND OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL SETTING ARE GAMERS. WE WANT TO MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT AND SHOW THEM THE BENEFITS OF GAMING AND POWER OF PLAY. THAT'S WHY CHILD'S PLAY CREATED THE THERAPEUTIC VIDEO GAME GUIDE A TOOL TO RECOMMEND VIDEO GAMES FOR CHILDREN BASED ON THEIR SYMPTOMS. THE GAMES AE CURATED BY RESEARCHERS AT NPD GROUP, INC., A MARKET-LEADING VIDEO GAME RESEARCH FIRM, IN COLLABORATION WITH MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCHERS AT UCSD. THIS GUIDE WAS DESIGNED AS A QUICK REFERENCE TO HELP CARETAKERS QUICKLY SELECT GAMES FOR THEIR PATIENTS.
