About Us

CHAP brings the Healing Power of Art to children and families facing medical and/or mental health challenges. At CHAP, children are known for their creativity and ingenuity — not by their disease, diagnosis or disability. Our innovative and inclusive healing arts programs are provided free of charge to children, teens and families affected by pediatric illness, disability or special need. CHAP provides Oregon’s only in-and-out of hospital interactive healing arts program for children facing any medical and/or mental health issue.
