Today's Search Spotlight is doubly special. Why, you may wonder? For starters, March is Child Life Month! Banner Health Foundation & Alzheimer Foundation recently published a timely article on the work of Child Life Specialists.  Our main reason for highlighting Child Life & General Psychosocial Resources today is because we received a direct request from you, a fellow Banner team member, who asked for better visibility of these resources. Banner Library reflects you, the health care professional, so we welcome your feedback and requests. 

Your Banner Librarians have pulled together some resources that center Child Life and Psychosocial literature! Please consider that both of these topics as stated are very broad. Inquiry into any specific aspect of these overall topics is nuanced and complex.  It would be useful to search in specialty databases that are not necessarily part of Banner database subscriptions. Lastly, pease contact your librarians if you'd like to schedule a consult or book individual or group training on a variety of topics!
