Shared Decision-Making
Families caring for children with serious illness encounter countless highly-charged moments in which they are asked to make critical decisions. Creating an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect, giving and receiving information, goes a long way toward helping parents feel confident that they are valued members of a team doing the best they can for the child.
