March is Child Life Month, which makes it a perfect time to share why we support our friends at Children’s Hospital of Michigan with Child Life Services.
Studies show Child Life Services improves a child and their family’s overall hospital experiences, reduces length of stays, decreased sedation needs, and more. These healthcare professionals provide education of diagnosis, treatment, and procedures at a level that the child can understand and they help kids process big emotions through difficult times.
Child Life relies on philanthropy to provide care – and kids rely on Child Life for hope and healing.
