Cellie Intervention
Cellie Wait-list Control
The Cellie Coping Kit intervention is grounded in empirical evidence regarding injury recovery. By utilizing parents as coaches, the Cellie Coping intervention can be initiated in the hospital and continued as the child recovers at home. The intervention's portable, engaging design and active partnership with parents as consistently available coaches, allows families to use the intervention anywhere (i.e., home, hospital, during procedures) ensuring the child is supported at the time the injury-related stressor arises. The Cellie Coping Intervention consists of 1) a stuffed toy to promote engagement, 2) caregiver book, and 3) coping cards. Skills are presented in a way usable by most parents and children without medical team support. In this condition, children and parents will be introduced to the Cellie Intervention immediately following the completion of the T1 measures.
