What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to help parents cope better with the emotional challenges of caring for a seriously ill child.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not reduce distress more than standard support.
