Discussion 7: Interactions with Diverse Populations
Mrs. Rodriguez brings Sophia, her 3-year-old, into the emergency department. Mrs. Rodriguez has been in the United States from Mexico for only 1 year and brings Sophia to the ER often with questions. This visit, Mrs. Rodriguez mentions to you that Sophia has been resistant to go to bed and often wakes crying and fearful. Mrs. Rodriquez thinks an evil spirit may be the cause of Sophia’s crying. As a CCLS, you know that fears are common in preschool-age children. What recommendations would you have regarding home care for Sophia’s fears, and how would you respond to Mrs. Rodriguez’s concern of the evil spirit?

W7: Communities & Traumatic Grief and Children & Traumatic Loss
So much of being a Child Life Specialist entails not just working in traditional medical settings providing support for medical needs, but also seeing where Child Life needs to be to better impact children experiencing any event that can be traumatic.
Let’s again consider HOW we can help children and use this lens to create new roles in new settings. Read through the following examples:
• What organizations exist in your area that have a mission focusing on children and trauma that would be enhanced by incorporating Child Life services?
• Does your community have a school reintegration team that supports not only a return to school after medical needs, but also return to school after traumatic events?
• Have there been any events in your area where this kind of service/support would have benefitted local children?
• What services exist in your area for children experiencing maltreatment (such as courts, foster/kinship care, or adoption)?
• What kinds of support systems should be in place that would allow you to bring Child Life to more local children?
Provide information on at least one resource in your community (including name & website if available) that includes what this agency provides to your community and how it impacts children or families coping with grief. How could Child Life philosophies impact this agency and how they provide supports to local children and families?
