Buddy of the Month
Identification (ID) Buddy
Hi, I’m the Identification Buddy! Life will always be full of uncertainties and difficulties for everyone. Kids need help in recognizing their problems, taking action and resolving them. And because some children aren’t old enough to do things on their own and need a little extra help just to get started, I’m here to fulfill that need.
Unlike the other Buddies, I don’t have a face, so healthcare workers can easily use me in roleplaying and counseling. Your kid can draw his or her own face on me and express how they see themselves.
I offer much-needed emotional support by being a friend that’s “just like me” to your child and am available for hugs at a moment’s notice!
Sibling Buddy
Hi, I’m the Sibling Buddy! Every child that is expecting a baby brother or sister can feel as special and proud when the new little one arrives. He or she can start practicing right away their important roles as the Big Brother or Big Sister with my help!
I come dressed in a t-shirt with Big Brother or Big Sister screened on the front.

Superhero Buddy
Hi, I’m the Superhero Buddy! Working with children for so long has taught us how important it is for a child newly diagnosed with an illness, living with a disability or experiencing an emotional situation to feel like a Superhero. In our eyes, they are real superheroes!
I come dressed in a t-shirt and shorts with a superhero cape and mask.
