St. Francis Reflections has partnered with The Children’s Center in Titusville to host a Teddy Bear Clinic for children ages 3-10. Teddy Bear Clinic is a kid-friendly, fun, and informative opportunity for children and families to engage in medical play and education in a non-threatening environment to relieve stress and anxiety surrounding medical care and health care experiences. During Teddy Bear Clinic, children and families are invited to an engaging and playful “walk through” of some common health care experiences using Teddy Bears and play. Teddy Bear Clinic provides an opportunity to promote positive comfort and coping for our young community members (families too!) to feel empowered and supported in the health care environment going forward. Additional supportive agency booths related to children and health care will be available for families to visit with and gather information. Teddy Bears will be provided to guests while supplies last, but feel free to bring your favorite stuffed toy! The Teddy Bear Clinic will be held at the Titusville Children’s Center outdoor playground on Saturday, March 12, 2022 from 9 am – Noon. Space is limited and registration is required.

A beary good time is coming
