What happens behind hospital doors when a child receives a life-threatening diagnosis? For many families, the fear, confusion, and emotional overload can feel impossible to navigate. That’s where Child Life Specialists step in, not just to explain what’s happening, but to empower kids and families through every moment of the journey.
In this episode of The Mindful Haven Podcast, host Lori Griffith welcomes Julie Millar, Certified Pediatric Child Life Specialist, and Danielle Williams, Child Life Officer Supervisor at Palm Beach Children’s Hospital. Together, they shine a light on one of the most essential and overlooked parts of pediatric care: emotional wellness, therapeutic play, and whole-family support.
This isn’t just about teddy bears and coloring books. It’s about building trust, reducing fear, and helping kids reclaim their sense of safety and self, even in the face of illness.
