Benefits of Pediatric Palliative Care

We assist in gathering, understanding, and partnering with you to talk about the medical information needed to make the best decision for your child and family.

You and your child might be trying to handle some tough conversations. Our team can help you communicate questions, circumstances, and your child’s needs and wants. We can be there to assist in conversations with family members, siblings, and healthcare teams.  

As your child and family face the challenges of a serious illness, we are here to help you explore the meaning of what is happening. At your request, we can also connect your family with your faith group.

Understanding and controlling emotions is not an easy task during challenging times. Our team offers a safe and accepting space to talk about the difficult thoughts and feelings you, your child, and family may experience. 

We are here to help your healthcare team minimize pain and other uncomfortable physical symptoms, especially toward the end of life. 

Finding ways to stay connected with your child’s social group is important during this time. If you would like, we can help integrate your family’s connections with: 

  • School 
  • Neighbors 
  • Faith community 
  • Friends
  • Family
