Parents, siblings and professionals struggle with the extreme stresses involved in the life threatening illness and death of a child. This case-based seminar focuses on the unique nature of the experience and the current body of research available to guide the care of families during this life-altering process. Participants will explore specific suggestions and approaches for the support of parents, siblings and the pediatric palliative care team, and will leave with new tools and resources to put immediately into practice.
