Little Advocate book & bear deluxe gift set

The Char Bear has been a great resource for our patients here at Richmond University Medical Center.

"It was first introduced to our medical staff during our monthly meeting and each staff member expressed how amazing a resource like this was for our patients. They were all excited to add char bear as a form of emotional support and education for our patients. Our patients have expressed their love for char bear and have been engaged with the education char bear helps us give the patients. Our families have been amazed at how the book and bear have helped their child cooperate with the process of an EEG. Char bear has been the best addition to the care we provide here for our patients."

This book and bear has been a blessing in the beginning of our epilepsy journey.

"The bear helped me prepare my son for his EEG and feel comforted during it. And after getting home, we love to talk about how brave he and his bear are. It has also been helpful to teach our other children about their brother’s epilepsy in a way that kids can easily grasp. We can’t wait to keep sharing this story with friends and classmates!"

I LOVE the Brave Bears and Char Bear Keeps Dancing books.

"As an EEG technologist and person with epilepsy myself, I wish we had these when I was a kid to help me learn more about my condition and have a companion when going through the tests and scans that are a part of normal life for those with seizure disorders. This is a game changer in spreading awareness early and advocating for the younger generation who don’t have a voice of their own yet. My 4 year old nephew would also agree that he loves the book as well!"

Brave Bears have all the essential components to help kids feel comforted, empowered to learn, and eager to play.

"As a child life specialist, I've witnessed firsthand that the most impactful learning comes not from conversations about what's happening, but through play. Brave Bears doesn't just help kids at every developmental level feel comforted, but they help normalize medical procedures that may feel anything but normal. I'm so grateful to parents and advocates like Kate for creating resources that I can confidently share in my practice and know will have a profound impact on the families child life specialists support."
