Beads of Courage - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

A Simple String Becomes a Story of Your Strength and Courage 

Just like the medical staff can use a prescription to request the medicine for your treatment, you can think of this Bead Journal as your Bead Prescription to request the beads you should receive. Your beads become a form of narrative medicine that will help make visible your story of strength and courage.

On the inside of the Bead Prescription, you will see a column for each day of treatment. You can write the date at the top of the column and place a number or mark showing how many beads you earned and order the beads accordingly. 

As your Beads of Courage collection grows, it will be something you can use to remember and share your unique story of courage.
