<h2>How can a child life specialist help me?</h2><p>A child-life specialist can help you to learn about your body and find your way through the hospital environment. They can help you swallow pills, get through a difficult test, cope with your fears, or feel better when you are feeling blue. They can also help your parents, caregivers, brothers or sisters to understand the hospital better and help them recognize your needs so that the entire experience is easier.</p><p>A child-life specialist also respects that you are a teenager in a children's hospital, so they can help you to find things to do that won't make you feel like a little kid. They can provide a distraction when you need it or just sit and listen if you need to talk. They can also help you have your voice heard when you have something that you need the medical team or your parents to hear.</p><p>Child-life specialists work in many different units throughout the hospital. They also run events in the hospital such as movies and dances.</p>
