Miracle Monday: Celebrate Child Life Month!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the month of March, we celebrate and recognize the wonderful Child Life Team at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia, your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

The hospital can be a scary place for kids like Hudson. As trained professionals educated in child development, our Child Life Specialists work with children and families to overcome the challenges of a hospitalization. These methods include medical play, preparation, normalization, family support, special events, camps, therapeutic interventions and more.

Using developmentally appropriate activities, Child Life Specialists help children understand their medical treatment in “kid language”.  They care for patients of all ages – from birth up to age 21 – focusing on patient- and family-centered care.
