March is Child Life Month, a time to express our gratitude for the invaluable work of certified child life specialists and other members of the Child Life Program. These professionals are instrumental in supporting child health and wellness, offering expertise in helping children and families navigate stressful experiences across various settings. Through preparation, education, distraction, play, and other strategies, they provide crucial support to enhance coping mechanisms and create emotionally safe environments.
At Cooper, our Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy team uses their understanding of child and adolescent development to assess each child’s needs, resulting in more positive hospital experiences. Join us in thanking the team for their dedication to pediatric health care.
