The complexity of pediatric illness today has presented the child healthcare team, in both the hospital and the community, with an increasing number of infants, children and youth with emotional, behavioural and developmental problems. 

This educational programme offers child life training for professionals working to support the psychosocial needs of infants, children, youth, and their families.

The Child Life Studies Programme, within the Faculty of Health Sciences, offers an eight month (September to April) full-time post-professional diploma programme.  On-line distance learning courses for professional development are also available.
