Hi @AssocChildLife I’m interested in preparing myself for certification, but I have some questions: 1. How long do hospital internships last (in months)? 2. Is there a location outside the United States (Canada specifically) where hospital practices can be carried out? Thanks

Thank you @ValeroEnergy for the generosity that has made the COPE pain and comfort delirium kits possible. We are proud to see @UnivHealthSA employees sharing compassionate ideas at the #ChildLife Conference @AssocChildLife!

More co-created board game fun with a teen patient this week! We included tasks she needs to work on, honored her achievements and added cool activity squares #childlife #games #play #boardgames #teens #Creative

@EEEaley @ChildLifeMorgan We would love for you to do the same in a webinar to be recorded!

@ChildLifeMorgan @AssocChildLife Ug I wish so too! Have you heard of any from other CCLS though? You’re the only one I know of that’s ever presented on it.

@ChildLifeMorgan Amazing! We will DM you now!

@AssocChildLife Absolutely! I’d love to share! Here’s a new game (in progress) from my young patient recovering post MVA TBI

Co-creating board games with my patients is a great way to work on goals and help kids acknowledge areas they need to work on in their coping and medical experiences #childlife #boardgames #creativity #play #ccls #games #goals

Sometimes we all need a helping paw! 🐾 #FacilityDog, Jellybean, often works with Beckham during his physical therapy sessions and visits during his dialysis treatments. So cute! 💙

Today was a home run for these kids and nurses! ⚾ Third baseman @nick3lopez paid a visit to patients Riley and Kyler, some of our staff, and even #FacilityDog Jellybean! It truly brightened their day. Thanks for “swinging” by! 👑💙
