Why is this program necessary?

Kids need to have a sense of belonging, they need to fit in and be accepted by their peers. Wigs 4 Kids helps kids deal with appearance related issues and social acceptance, which are so critical to young adults and children.

What type of assistance does Wigs 4 Kids offer?

Wigs 4 Kids supplies a wig and an education on the care and maintenance of it. Every kid or teen receives shampoo, conditioner, a netted cap to be worn under the wig to keep it secure, head form to place the wig on when not in use, tee pins to secure the wig to the head form, wire wig stand to place the wig on after cleansing, chinstrap to secure wig when styling, comb, stand, sleep cap to be worn at night, a wig box to store the wig and supplies.
Educational & Medical Support Services Wigs 4 Kids also offers Educational and Medical Support Services, including classes and social groups where we help our kids recover from the emotional, social, psychological as well as physical side effects of hair loss. Children may participate in art, music & drama therapy, tutoring if they are academically challenged, grooming courses and also yoga & self-empowerment.
Ancillary Support Services In addition to the physical changes which occur with hair loss, children struggle with emotional, social and psychological side effects that need to be addressed. With our Wigs 4 Kids Ancillary Support Services Satellite Office, our families now have hope and help. Every child in our program will be seen through our intake program to assess & evaluate their needs, so we may better serve them.
