[Child Life 101] Series Preview
Podcast Show Notes
I’m SO excited to share a new podcast series we are starting at Child Life On Call!
[You can watch this via a screencast on YouTube here]
Child Life 101 is a new 10-week podcast series dedicated to all things related to all things child life specialists and the important role they play in the lives of children and families.
This series was born from some of the questions I’ve gotten over the past 6 (almost 7!) years that we’ve been producing Child Life On Call.
Each week we will cover a new topic:
- Child Life 101: What is Child Life
- Child Life 101: Kids in Pain and Procedure Support
- Child Life 101: Difficult Conversations with Kids
- Child Life 101: Preparing Kids for Procedures
- Child Life 101: Empowering Parents
- Child Life 101: Digital Resources in Hospitals
- Child Life 101: Child Life Entrepreneurship & Private Practice
- Child Life 101: Family-Centered Care
- Child Life 101: Child Life Tips
- Child Life 101: How to Support Child Life Programs
I promise to keep it awkward (like always) and fumble over my words in the most Katie-way possible.
Join us as we explore topics such as pain management, coping strategies, therapeutic play, and much more.
Whether you’re a parent, healthcare professional, or simply interested in learning more about child life, this podcast is for you.
