SupportSpot: Kids Health

Child Life On Call is the only app that connects you directly to child development experts that help kids and families cope with medical experiences. Healthcare can be scary and isolating for kids and their parents, but Child Life On Call offers you education, virtual consults and resources that will help you feel empowered.

Parents, you’ll finally have the insight you deserve to know about medical terminology and procedures through videos and content, learn specific ways of how to advocate for your child to the healthcare team, and get access to questions that you should be asking your medical providers.

*Make virtual appointments with a Certified Child Life Specialist who can help you navigate any unique medical situation with your child.

*Prompted journals and note taking, podcast episodes from other parents and community features take you from feeling like you're on the sidelines to an integral part of the care team.
