Community Partnerships
Child life specialists aim to mitigate the short- and long-term psychosocial impacts of stress, trauma, illness, injury, and loss on families. We partner with organizations across the public and private child-serving sectors (education, healthcare and behavioral health, corrections, and community justice and family-support systems) to support children and families in our community facing crisis or instability.
