We are proud to be a partner with the Child Life Department at our hospital in Thunder Bay. The care, compassion, and support they provide to children and families is truly invaluable. We hold deep respect for the work they do and are grateful to support such an important part of our community. 💜💛
This month, we recognize the important role of Child Life Specialists at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC). These pediatric health care professionals support children and families as they navigate the challenges of hospitalization, illness, and disability.
Child Life Specialists help prepare children for medical procedures in ways that are appropriate for their age and understanding. They also provide pain management and coping strategies, while creating opportunities for play, self-expression, and emotional support during difficult experiences.
In addition, they offer valuable information, guidance, and reassurance to parents, siblings, and other family members throughout a child’s care journey.
Join us in showing appreciation for the dedicated Child Life Specialists at TBRHSC today.
