Experience

Chicago Children's Advocacy Center

• United States
• Individual and Family Services
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Child Life Practicum Intern

  • May 2016 - Present

  As a Child Life intern, I will make a child’s experience visiting ChicagoCAC less stressful and more empowering through child-directed play. My role will be to provide a therapeutic and trauma-informed environment that builds trust and relieves anxiety among the families ChicagoCAC serves through facilitating recreational play and socialization. In addition, I will also prepare children for services and answer their questions in a developmentally appropriate manner.
