What to Expect When Referring a Family:

Our program director will be the first to respond to your referral. She will call the family within two business days to assess their needs, answer their questions and determine whether Wonders & Worries support is right for that family. If it’s determined that there is a good fit and the family is interested in Wonders & Worries support, a child life staff member will be assigned.

The primary child life staff member will schedule an intake with the parent(s) or caregiver(s) prior to the child(ren) receiving direct support. The intake will take place in person. If, however, a parent is unable to travel to a Wonders & Worries office due to illness, the child life staff may come to them, or do the intake via phone or email.

The primary child life staff member will determine together with the parent(s) or caregiver(s) what type of support the child(ren) will receive. Please visit our Services page to learn more about what we do.
