At Pediatric Emotional Enrichment Resources (PEER), we believe the answer lies in the power of storytelling, emotional connection, and clear, engaging communication. That’s why we’ve created a series of thoughtfully designed animated videos that walk children through medical procedures using age-appropriate language and analogies they can relate to. Our dedicated team—Doctor Teddy, Nurse Sunshine, and Doctor Paws—guides young patients with warmth and clarity, helping to reduce anxiety and build trust before surgery.
These animations are shown in the preoperative setting, where they can have the greatest impact—helping children feel more confident and prepared for what lies ahead. By addressing fear through familiarity and understanding, we aim to transform the medical experience into one of reassurance and empowerment.
By combining educational animation with emotional enrichment, PEER is helping children feel more informed, less afraid, and even excited to meet their care team.
Our nonprofit offers resources designed to support children’s emotional awareness, coping skills, and overall well-being. We focus on nurturing healthy emotional development through accessible, child-centered support.
As a California nonprofit, we help children and families navigate the emotional side of surgery and medical procedures. Our child-friendly resources prepare kids before operations, reduce fear, and support healthy emotional development through every step of care.
