Promoting Psychological Wellbeing in Children with Acute and Chronic Illness

Melinda Edwards and Penny Titman

Living with a chronic illness can have a significant psychological impact on a child and his or her family, and it is essential that this aspect of their care is not overlooked. This book provides a comprehensive guide to promoting the psychological well-being of children with chronic illnesses and medical conditions, covering support within health, social services and education. It discusses issues such as the impact of diagnosis and the experiences of children and their families in managing their medical condition and treatment.

Books can be ordered using the myRedkite online portal.
