I had a Registered Counsellor group meeting on Saturday, the 11th, where I used the opportunity to share what palliative care is all about, in general, and specifically, children’s palliative care. I had to answer many questions, and once these practitioners understood that it is a holistic approach, not just a medical intervention, they all expressed their interest in learning more about this field and educating their own clients about it in the future. Spreading awareness and educating ‘everyone’ on what it is about is one way to ensure those in need of care receive the correct information and referral to access palliative care. Knowledge is power!
