Abstract
On any given day in this world, children are informed they have a life-limiting illness. Other families will experience the death of a child. This experience greatly affects the entire family unit as well as the community that encircles the child and family. Learn how social workers are well qualified to conduct an in-depth psychosocial assessment that considers the impact of culture, social determinants of health, and child development on the healthcare experience of the child and family. Social workers use their skills in relational work and family systems to provide interventions that address the needs of the parental figures and siblings. Understand that the clinical interventions offered during the treatment phase will profoundly impact the family’s bereavement experience.
