Back to School: Child life interventions in the education system

This webinar will examine schools as an untapped employment environment for Certified Child Life Specialists. Child life interventions within a school setting will be explored in comparison to hospital interventions. This will hopefully show the need to advocate for child life outside of hospital walls, while also showing child life specialists that there are alternate work environments.

Suggested Domain: Intervention

1.5 PDUs

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the similarities of working in a school and hospital

2. Explore traditional child life interventions in a school setting

3. Understand the importance of transitions: hospital to school, school to hospital 

4. Examine new ways of using child life skills to create school-based interventions
