Following the overwhelming response to our last Scope of Practice webinar, one thing became clear: our community is hungry for continued conversation, practical tools, and opportunities to think critically through the increasingly complex situations we face every day. In this interactive follow-up session, we will build upon the discussions from Part 1 by re-introducing our practical framework for assessing scope, reviewing additional real-world scenarios submitted by child life specialists across the country, and exploring how clinicians can create ongoing opportunities for scope consultation and professional reflection within their own organizations.

Through live polling, guided discussion, and collaborative case review, participants will practice applying a structured decision-making process to scenarios involving behavioral health, grief, interdisciplinary overlap, developmental support, family dynamics, community-based practice, and more.

Rather than focusing on "in scope" or "out of scope" answers, this webinar will explore HOW child life specialists can use our framework guide, clinical judgment, collaboration, and professional boundaries to navigate complex situations with greater confidence and clarity.

Learning Objectives
1. Apply our practical framework for assessing scope of practice to real submitted scenarios
2. Identify common indicators that a situation may be approaching or extending beyond child life scope
3. Analyze real-world scenarios through collaborative discussion and clinical reasoning
4. Differentiate between patient need, system gaps, and professional responsibility
5. Develop strategies for fostering ongoing scope consultation and discussion within their organization
