专业概况

在这里学什么？

Knowing that illness, injury and hospitalization can negatively impact the life of a child and their family, child life specialists attend to the patient's developmental, psychosocial and emotional needs. Through interventions such as play, education, preparation, distraction and emotional support, child life specialists work with the patient and family to create and embrace positive coping practices. Research shows that the interventions done by child life specialists help to minimize the stress of the medical environment, which therefore promotes healing. Child life specialists advocate for the unique and individual needs of patients and families and work alongside physicians, nurses, social workers and other staff members to ensure those needs are met. Child life specialists have a strong educational background in child development and have significant experience in being able to recognize and combat stressors of the hospital setting. Child life programs can be found in a variety of settings all across the world. Whereas most child life programming serves children within the hospital, other child life specialists work in places such as outpatient medical areas, dentist offices and other facilities that support children facing challenging events.
