Baystate Children's Hospital - A Look Inside the World of Our Child Life Team

Whether your child is visiting the hospital for tests, a procedure, an emergency, or surgery, it can be a scary and stressful time. Our certified child life specialists are trained professionals with expertise in helping children and their families overcome some of life’s most challenging events. We explain the care process and what to expect in terms your child and family can all understand.
Adapting from moment to moment, child life specialists may provide support to the family of a child who passed away, helping to make memories by molding hand prints or saving locks of hair. The following hour, they might be organizing a dance party, or supporting a nervous parent and child during the anesthesia process.
We invite you to take a look inside the world of our Child Life team and the amazing work they do on a daily basis. Their work truly helps us deliver a higher state of caring.
