Welcome to Code C.L.I.O.! The podcast for everyone and anyone who cares about the psychosocial, cognitive, and emotional development of children. Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) want to care for you and your families. But, we can’t do that if we don’t get paid a living wage or if we’re constantly disregarded, disparaged, and disrespected by our colleagues.
Join us for our inaugural season as we seek to ask and answer what is a Certified Child Life Specialist, does it matter that the field could disappear altogether, and is there anything we can do about it?

Welcome to CODE C.L.I.O.; A new podcast about uplifting the child life field + educating the public on our work as essential clinicians!
This podcast is for everyone and anyone who cares about the psychosocial, cognitive, and emotional development of children.

This week, we are kicking off the inaugural season with the help of Dr. Jessika Boles, PhD, CCLS. Join us as we ask, and answer, what is a Certified Child Life Specialist, does it matter that the field could disappear altogether, and is there anything we can do about it?
