Abstract
The multifaceted challenges faced by children with chronic illnesses illuminate a need for additional supports focusing on this population’s mental health. Although child life (CL) services and specialists support the immediate needs of the children, there is still an absence of resources to serve the long-term mental health needs of children with chronic illnesses.

This article provides guidelines for integrating AdPT into the existing system through the guidance of the pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS) model.
