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.
