Child Life Month
The impact child life specialists make on the emotional safety of children and families in healthcare settings is unparalleled.
To promote understanding and appreciation of the invaluable contributions of child life specialists, ACLP has championed a month-long celebration, Child Life Month.

What Style CCLS Are You?
By Jacquie Rahm, CCLS, CTRS-C, YMHFA
"In honor of Child Life Month, I want to explore the various styles of CCLSs and brainstorm ways to incorporate aspects of each into well-rounded child life care. Take the quiz to help you identify your potential style of child life."
Free Webinar for ACLP Members
Embodying Emotional Safety
1.5 PDUs, Domain:Ethics, Intervention, or Professional Responsibility
The body, mind, and spirit are connected. Therefore, achieving emotional safety is not just about the mind. It can also be approached from a bottom-up approach. This workshop will use theories of the expressive arts continuum, inter-model approach in the express arts therapy, and Kestenberg Movement Profiles among others to help participants explore ways to deepen and stabilize their feelings.
This webinar has free registration for ACLP members from March 1 - April 1.
