Child Life Team Development: Relationship & Collaboration

from Care Rewritten | Ending the Trauma of Care Together · host Mary Jenner

Child Life is not just "the iPad and toy department." When we relegate emotional safety to a single role, we set the entire system up for failure. It’s important that we redefine the Child Life Specialist as the "Lead Architect" of a hospital's emotional culture.  Listen in to tackle the "invisible time sinks" that occur when we don't utilize Child Life at the top of their scope and see why it’s time to move them from the sidelines to the center of every clinical round. P.S. Start the conversation with your leadership team around making care human again 🦋👉 DOWNLOAD THE SPEAKING KIT
