What is Child Life?
Why Community Based Child Life?
While many Child Life roles are typically found in the hospital, many Child Life Specialists have noticed a need for these services in their communities. Whether through a community organization, or individual families seeking support, Chicago Child Life Consulting meets families where they are to make sure all children have the resources they need.
