I have a great interest in health care particularly with young people as their needs must be met. I am aware that Canadian hospitals have Child Life Programs as BC Children's Hospital has a Child Life Program. I am one who recogonizes the eed for family-orientated care for pre-school and school-age children, also one who recognnizes the unique needs and concerns of teenage patients. With Child Life Specialists in the adult-orientated general hospital with pediatric units, even those with dolescent Units and the specialized children's hospital the hospital experience can be a positive growth experience for patients for all ages, the young patients children and teens can easily cope with the hospital experience through play, recreation, kee ing up with their school work and the dedication of the Child Life Specialists will reduce the trauma of hospitalization as in the past.

Although I think my current social work job is an excellent experience,it's not my career choice. My fiance and I will be moving from the Midwest in 2 years. I would love to work in Child Life, but am not sure about obtaining a job because of the lack of support Child Life receives from insurance companies. I am especially interested in infants and very young children. I have a lot of experience working with young children. Do you have any advice for me regarding employment opportunities in Child Life or another related field? I enjoy the medical setting and want a rewarding job (don't we all?). We hope to settle in the Western U.S. or Canada (my fiance's Canadian) in the next few years. Any input would be welcomed. Thank you. Sincerely, Leah Emery

Comments: When I was 8, I was in the hospital for a month for a bad back infection. The hospital I was at had a child life specialist that was awesome and I will always remember what she did for me. I am now 18 and a freshman in college. I'm considering a career in that area and I would appreciate it if you would send me any info that would help me out. Thanks!!!

Comments: hi - i think your web p[age is wonderful. I am currently a sophomore at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. I want more then anything to be a Child Life Specialist. I was wondering if you would mind sending me an email telling me where and what you stu ied. I am at very loose ends right now b/c i dont know if i should transfer and finish my undergrad studies somewhere else or finish here at SJU and go to graduate school elsewhere. There is not a child life program here so i am taking mostly education lasses b/c they encompass a lot of psychology and child development courses. Please write back. I am in need of guidance on this subject and have not been able to find anyone to help me. I would love to come see the hospital you work at. Sincerely, Monicca Szymczak email ms090552@sju.edu
