About Child Life

Members of our child life staff hold advanced-degree training in the growth and development of children. They provide age-appropriate information to help children cope with the hospital and prepare them emotionally for invasive procedures and surgery. Techniques include diagnosis-specific education, medical play and psychological preparation. University students from across the United States seek out the child life clinical training program at Children's, and staff members have helped develop similar programs across the nation.
