Pediatric Intervention Team
The Pediatric Intervention Team is a multidisciplinary group that consists of child life specialists, pediatric / psychiatric nurses, a social worker and a consulting child psychiatrist / psychologist.
The Team recognizes the unique psycho-social needs of hospitalized children and their families. The services the team provides are based on the emotional and developmental needs of children from infancy to young adulthood. Through careful preparation and continuing support, the team aims to minimize a child's anxiety in the health care environment and promote opportunities for growth and mastery of the hospital experience.
