M.E.S.H. Books: Empowering Young Patients Through Creative Healing

 

Supporting Patient Care, Enhancing Patient Experience, and Building Mental Resiliency!!

Supporting Patient Care, Enhancing Patient Experience, and Building Mental Resiliency

Children’s hospitals face a unique challenge: young patients undergoing treatment often experience stress, isolation, and anxiety that can impact their recovery and overall well-being. While medical care is paramount, the emotional and mental health of patients is equally critical. Innovative approaches that nurture creativity, resilience, and self-expression can play a vital role in enhancing the patient experience.

Why We Created M.E.S.H. Books for Young Patients

Over the past several years, we’ve engaged with patients, families, child life specialists, and healthcare professionals to understand the unique challenges children face during hospital stays. We discovered that traditional patient care resources sometimes miss the mark in capturing young hearts and minds. Our guiding principle emerged:

“To truly support our young patients, we must offer content that resonates on multiple levels—intellectually, emotionally, and creatively.”

That’s why we developed M.E.S.H. (Mental, Emotional, Social, Health) Books. These interactive resources combine coloring, journaling, games, activities, music, and more to help children build self-awareness, resilience, and emotional strength during their healing journey.



What Makes M.E.S.H. Books Unique?

  • Creative Healing in Action
    Every page is designed to spark creativity and provide a soothing escape. Through engaging activities, children explore mindfulness, empathy, and self-expression—all while having fun.

  • Aligned with Patient Well-Being Goals
    M.E.S.H. Books are designed to complement child life programs and mental health initiatives. In a setting where stress and uncertainty are common, nurturing emotional intelligence is more important than ever.

  • Diverse Healing Modalities
    From storytelling and puzzles to musical tie-ins, our approach caters to different interests and learning styles, ensuring every child finds something that resonates with them during their stay.

  • Grounded in Real-World Experience
    Developed with insights from patients, families, and healthcare professionals, every activity is tested to ensure it effectively promotes mental resiliency and supports healing.



How M.E.S.H. Books Enhance Patient Care at Children’s Hospitals

    • Promote Focus & Calmness
      Engaging visuals and interactive activities help children practice mindfulness and manage stress, providing a calming influence during their hospital stay.

    • Boost Emotional Well-Being
      Our books offer practical tools for emotional regulation and self-expression, creating a supportive environment that alleviates anxiety and nurtures a positive outlook.

    • Complement Therapeutic Programs
      M.E.S.H. Books work alongside traditional therapeutic interventions to reinforce emotional and social growth, enriching the overall care experience.

    • Empower Healthcare Teams
      These ready-to-use, engaging resources can be easily integrated into patient care routines, supporting the work of child life specialists and healthcare providers by adding a creative, therapeutic element to daily activities.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Teacher Photo
"I attended a vendor fair where I saw the MESH (Mental, Emotional, Social, Health) book. The Capes and Come-Ups caught my eye as a resource that our Social Emotional Teachers could use with students. The interactive comic book flow was something that I thought our students would take interest in and the topics on some of the pages fit right with our social emotional curriculum. I shared the resource with our Social Emotional Teachers who provide tier 2 and tier 3 supports for students. The resources in the book were provided as a source of ideas and topics for the teachers to use with students. We had a group of students who were picking on another student. The Social Emotional Teachers use the Capes and Come-Ups to discuss de-escalating strategies, set goals, and build a vision of who the student wanted to be. The goals student set and the vision of themselves we used as reminders to help them make positive decisions while at school. This was an excellent resource that engaged students in conversations to grow them as individuals."

"My student Kahari told me to tell thank you again! Today they were so excited to get their M.E.S.H books out and to finish coloring and putting them together and some of them use the extra pages to make an additional one. She said, "thank you so much for having a guest visit us."

"These books have been a true eye-opener for our students. In a matter of weeks, we’ve seen better focus, fewer conflicts, and a surge in creativity. The difference has been remarkable."

"I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. Who knew self-development coloring books that focus on attitude, behavior, goal setting, and art would make such a difference? But within just a few weeks, I noticed our students becoming more focused and cooperative, both in and out of the classroom. It’s been a truly pleasant surprise—like getting a workbook, art book, and personal development guide all rolled into one. And in terms of budget, it’s a relatively small investment with disproportionately big results. I can honestly say these books have helped bring our school community closer together."

School Counselor, Westview High (Avondale)

"As Assistant Principal here at Little Rock High School, I’ve seen firsthand how these resources aren’t just a hit with the more cooperative students, but they’ve also become a game-changer for those who traditionally struggle. Our teens who sometimes bring more challenges are beginning to channel their difficulties into art and reflection. It’s rewarding to watch them actively participate, rather than shut down. I never expected something as simple as a self-development coloring book to create such a positive shift, but it has—both academically and behaviorally"
