About the Organization: A Moment of Magic (AMOM) is a national nonprofit organization that aims to improve the mental and emotional well-being of medically vulnerable children by providing creative experiences. Through innovative programming and partnerships with colleges across the U.S., AMOM delivers character visits, creative play, and social-emotional learning workshops to over 150,000 children and families. The organization’s mission is to bring joy and magic to children in need, empowering them to overcome their challenges.
Legal Entity Type: Nonprofit/Charity
SDG(s):Good Health and Well Being, Partnerships to achieve the Goals, Reduced Inequalities
Legal Issue(s):

A Moment of Magic’s latest initiative, Express, Create, Heal (ECH), focuses on mental health support for pediatric cancer patients, introducing evidence-based social-emotional learning to help them navigate their journey. They do so by providing paid trainings for professionals and providers and running programs for families affected by pediatric cancer that help bridge the gap for holistic care.

On the ECH website, there is some language expressing that their support does not constitute medical advice/care. The AMOM team is now seeking assistance ensuring that the disclaimer language is clear and legally sound. Ultimately, they would appreciate guidance on any additional disclaimers they should include and steps they should take to protect the organization from liability.
