Child life specialists are part of the health care team.
They are trained to help children, teens and families deal with stress and anxiety from illness, hospital stays and medical treatments.
Since all kids learn through play, child life specialists use toys, games and other tools to:
- Teach kids about their bodies and illnesses
- Help them get ready for procedures
- Distract them during treatments
- Support them in expressing their feelings
