Planètes Enfants Malades Foundation - “Entre Parents” Meeting for Parents of Hospitalized Children

Avatar: Paola Möhl Pignatelli Paola Möhl Pignatelli

Short Description
Evening gatherings for parents of children and adolescents hospitalized at the Children’s Hospital in Lausanne, organized by the Planètes Enfants Malades Foundation.
Target Audience
All parents of children hospitalized at the Lausanne Children’s Hospital
Your Project in Detail
This project allows parents of children hospitalized at the Lausanne Children’s Hospital who stay overnight at their child’s bedside to meet with peers during weekly evening gatherings to discuss and share their concerns on various topics over a light snack. A supportive individual from outside the hospital welcomes the parents and facilitates these discussions, which serve as much-needed respites from the daily routine of caring for their children. An educator also participates in these discussions to ensure a smooth transition during the day with the relevant departments. Parents can thus share their concerns (whether personal—related or unrelated to their children—professional, or otherwise), their fears, their challenges, or any topic requiring a caring and attentive ear with people who fully understand the journey of parenting a hospitalized child. The pilot project, which ran for two years, demonstrated a genuine need on the part of parents and provided undeniable added value in the difficult journey faced by the parents of young patients. This support also plays an important role in the psychological well-being of parents, and their children are the primary beneficiaries. Annual budget: CHF 26,000 - Educator (10% FTE): CHF 12,500 - External consultant: CHF 12,500 - Snack expenses: CHF 1,000 We are requesting your support in the amount of CHF 4,000
