Materials help families find support for children with serious illnesses

Materials to support the families of children with serious illnesses have been developed by the National Institute of Nursing Research, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. The materials are associated with the NINR’s “Palliative Care: Conversations Matter” campaign.

“Palliative care is often associated with end of life, making it difficult for patients and their families – and even for healthcare providers – to start conversations around the subject. However, palliative care can be incredibly helpful for patients and their families at any stage during an illness. We hope these materials will improve patient and family understanding of pediatric palliative care and facilitate discussion with healthcare teams,” NINR Director Patricia A. Grady said in a written statement.

The resources, which include a fact sheet, a resource card to help families find support, and a series of family stories, are available in both Spanish and English. The NINR developed these materials with feedback from parents of seriously ill children. To learn more, click here
