Mini-Con Events

Joy And Ink’s Mini-Con Events brings the delight and contentment of grand conventions directly to the children’s hospital, but in a miniature form.  It encompasses donated artwork, engaging activities, and much more, all tailored for the children’s enjoyment.  Additionally, the presence of superheroes in captivating costumes adds an extra touch of excitement to the experience.

Comic-Con & Catering

Eligible children and parents/guardians are welcome to join Joy And Ink and a chosen group of individuals to attend Comic-Con in person. Afterwards, we invite you to join us for dinner to wrap up this thrilling day!

Arts In Medicine

Arts in Medicine (AIM) utilizes art and creativity to promote healing and improve overall health. Studies have shown that art can function as a form of therapy by reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing mood, boosting self-confidence, serving as an emotional outlet, improving cognitive abilities, promoting social interaction, and expediting recovery from illnesses.

Family Wellness Support

Joy And Ink’s Resilience Training program equips families with the necessary skills to concentrate on the positive aspects of life and effectively navigate through challenging circumstances. This program provides individuals with valuable resources to effectively address and overcome obstacles that may arise.

Pediatric Wellness Visits

Joy And Ink’s wellness visits aim to foster positive mental well-being and resilience among young patients by providing personalized, face-to-face sessions with a superhero.
