What makes Chai Lifeline unique?
Chai Lifeline understands that serious illness impacts the entire family. Therefore our programs are geared towards everyone. Volunteer Big Brothers and Big Sisters are assigned not only to the sick child, but to his or her siblings if needed. There are several counseling options available for parents, the sick child and siblings. There are many opportunities for the entire family to participate in programs together, from family days and holiday celebrations to our annual Family Retreat, a weekend of peer and professional support that brings 15 families together. Chai Lifeline is a leader in using technology to meet client needs. ChaiLink connects children who are hospitalized or homebound for long periods of time to their schools via state-of-the-art webcams. ChaiLines uses teleconferencing to bring parents of children with similar diagnosis together with a professional therapist for biweekly support sessions.
