Courageous Parents Network

Courageous Parents Network channel features videos of parents of children with serious, life-threatening illness sharing their experiences across a wide range of psychosocial and emotional issues. It is not disease specific but is for anyone who is seeking community and a desire to hear from other parents to know that they can do this. Issues explored include: coping with the diagnosis, spirituality, marriage, caring for the other healthy children/siblings, working with the medical team, self-care, control, decision-making and palliative care, questions about end-of-life, transitioning to end-of-life, bereavement, parental identity, and meaning making. Videos also include a pediatric psychologist and grief counselor who frames the issues, a palliative care doctor, a palliative care nurse, and a chaplain.
