Preparing children for procedures

Mego

A child facing surgery or a blood draw may not know what to expect. Step into a hero’s role, rehearse the appointment and practice ways to handle the unfamiliar moments.

THE IDEA / Rebecca Krieger

Medical procedures can be frightening when the setting, equipment and sequence are unfamiliar. The team’s aim is emotional preparation before the appointment.

Mego combines procedure-themed missions with coping activities for children aged six to twelve. The child adopts a hero’s role and practices what happens next. The submitted version includes surgery and blood-draw paths, with language support varying by path.
