BEad BRAVE

BEad BRAVE is a program designed to support and strengthen children and families coping with motor problems and undergoing Botox treatment. This program allows children who wish to participate, the chance to collect different beads and create a unique necklace or keychain that tells the story of their Botox treatment at ErinoakKids.

If you would like your child to take part, we will give your child a starter kit.

The starter kit includes:

Strong cotton string.
Beads spelling your child’s initials.
Optional Keychain ring.

Each bead represents a different part of your child’s treatment.
