  Established in 1993, The Therapeutic Clown Program at SickKids uses spontaneous humour and gentle play to minimize stress during hospitalization and treatment. A therapeutic clown at SickKids can become a “constant” for a child; a stable being who comes back again and again. A clown can become a child’s confidante, playmate and friend, offering comfort and emotional support at a time when children and their families need it most. Therapeutic clowning is an innovative and effective therapy and like laughter, is contagious.
