Child Life Specialists are trained professionals who support children and families in healthcare settings. They help reduce the stress and anxiety that can come with medical procedures by using play, education, and emotional support. Their goal is to promote a positive experience for children during hospital visits or treatments.
These specialists work closely with doctors, nurses, and families to create a supportive environment. They provide age-appropriate explanations about medical procedures and help children express their feelings. By using therapeutic play and activities, Child Life Specialists help children cope with their experiences and foster resilience.
