Yes!! Children are not tiny adults and deserve peds trained providers. And, psychosocial services are critical for great care!! #pedpc #hapc23 @AAHPM @conradw4 @RThienprayoon.
@RThienprayoon it is not compassionate to ask adult clinicians to care for children receiving #hospice services. Services such as art therapy are not icing on the cake. They are the cake of great #hospice care. #hapc23.

Impressive and inspiring work on creating a ‘Journey Map’ for families of children with severe neurological impairment. This project is a labor of love in the truest sense of the phrase and is centered on lived family experiences @BlythCPN @RThienprayoon #hapc23 @AAHPM

Paper in press now- can’t wait to share these Competencies for Psychology in PPC more widely with our network @drrachelkentor @drsarahmccarthy @DrMSchaefer #hapc2023.
PPC Psychology workgroup was formed of 9 peds psychologists, then reviewed by 15 multidisciplinary stakeholders to create competencies. Here's how they did it:.#hapc23

One of my favorite papers comes to life! “Such a lovely family”— how we speak to and about our patients matters! How a team feels about a family relates to use of empathy in team meetings. #hapc2023
