Extra Information
Our hospital has heightened restrictions on what is able to be given on the unit due to safety and acuity of the patients we serve. Some suggestions below are appropriate for our units, but we are willing to discuss further depending on what materials you provide. We would also prefer to use either cardboard boxes/ shoe boxes instead of plastic bins due to safety concerns. Thank you!

Origami Paper
Coloring pages (no staples)
Word search books/sudoku books
Boxes with psychiatric safe items (no - staples, long strings, pipe cleaners, pens/pencils). Fidget items are always very helpful along with craft items that meet the above listed restrictions and travel size games.
