Pediatric Emergency Medicine Child Life Services

A trip to the Pediatric Emergency Department is often unexpected. Our certified Child Life Specialists, who have expertise in child development, offer patients and families a supportive environment and employ distraction tools and techniques to reduce stress and enable a child to cope with a medical emergency. By providing play therapy, distraction, emotional support and coping techniques, we enable our young patients to feel more comfortable and at the same time help them heal more quickly.
