Kythe Child Life Program

Just had an overview about KYTHE earlier. I'm sharing my notes here and please help me spread the word. Let us lend a helping hand to those who are in need...

I. Kythe Presentation
Kythe is derived from a Scottish word “kayth” which means healing through simple sharing and togetherness

It utilizes Patch Adam’s approach – incorporating laughter and bringing humor to patients/children for them to live a quality life.

Kythe gives children a semblance of normal childhood
