On any given day, Beads of Courage helps
60,000 children and teens in 9 countries record, tell and own their story of courage
From humble beginnings as a small Arizona nonprofit in 2005, Beads of Courage has created an international network of over 400 member hospitals with one goal: to advance the science of caring for children, teens and families coping with serious illness through arts-in-medicine programs. Every time a bead is given, courage is honored, suffering is alleviated, resilience is strengthend, and the experience of human caring is affirmed.
We make healing happen through the use of beads as a historical art form.
Every Beads of Courage Program integrates the use of beads, the earliest art form known to humans, as visible, tangible symbols of human experiences that need and deserve to be expressed.
