Read here about important information regarding my blog. Thank you to all of my readers. Please continue to use this blog if you are interested or know someone who is interested in pursuing Child Life.
For the “Find a Practicum/Internship Near You!” page, I will be updating it and should be up to date by June 2020. If you are a CCLS and your hospital’s Child Life Practicum/Internship Program page has been updated, added, or removed, please contact me at jlorenz9009@gmail.com. By June 2020, all information will be current. Any changes beyond 2020, students should contact the hospital directly.
COVID-19
To all the AMAZING Child Life Specialists working in the healthcare setting during these challenging times, I THANK YOU!! Patients and their families are incredibly lucky to have you to answer questions, continue to provide services both in-person and virtually, and send positive messages to patients you cannot visit or serve. I pray for volunteers, students, and interns whose time was cut due to COVID-19, but know that your impact is still important and the children you work with will miss you! I hope you are able to return to your positions soon and complete your programs.

Hi Janay! Unfortunately at this time I do not have any additional sources for the CLC exam. However, since you have brought this to my attention, I will plan on creating a blog to assist others like you who need some good tips and resources for the exam.
My definite best advice to you is really understand the child life code of ethics and have the text: “Psychosocial Care of Children in Hospitals”. I’ve heard that is a great resource too!
Best of luck!
