Child Life Specialist

Support Services

One of the biggest challenges for patients and their families is staying motivated and hopeful during long days in the hospital. The Child Life program works to normalize patients' hospital experience to provide children with activities that help them understand the treatment process while helping them develop new skills, conquer challenges, build self-esteem and a sense of mastery.

Child Life Specialists are developmental experts who provide support and advocacy for children and their families during critical times when they face traumatic injury, severe illnesses and even end-of-life issues. That support may start in the pediatric emergency room and continue throughout your child's hospital stay and discharge.

  • Procedure Preparation
  • Diagnostic Education
  • Guided Distraction
