Going to the hospital can be a frightening experience.
The hospital is full of strange sights, sounds, smells, and unfamiliar
people. To help ease the stress, Backus Children's Hospital offers child life services for children, teens, and families. The goal
of the child life program is to provide a supportive environment
where children can gain a better understanding of the hospital,
surgery, and medical treatments. To find out more about the Child life Profession, visit the Child Life Council.
The child life specialists at Backus Children's Hospital are
trained to address the emotional needs of hospitalized children
and adolescents. They use play and age-appropriate activities to
create a comfortable environment in which children can express their
fears or concerns. Find out what they can do for you:
