Teamwork
Effective teamwork in pediatric palliative care requires clear communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making. Each professional—nurses, doctors, therapists, and spiritual care providers—brings vital insight to support the child and family. A united, compassionate team ensures holistic care that honors the child’s needs and eases the family’s journey.
Self-Care
Self-care is essential in children’s palliative care due to the emotional intensity of the work. Personal strategies like mindfulness, reflection, and peer support help manage stress. Teams that encourage open dialogue, emotional check-ins, and mutual support foster resilience, preventing burnout and ensuring sustained, compassionate care for families and children.
