Source abstract
A cancer diagnosis in childhood is life changing for children and their families. Children may experience medical and physical side-effects, and both children and carers may suffer from distress and other psychological challenges. Supportive care interventions are vitally important in helping children and their families cope adaptively to ensure positive long-term adjustment. Child Life Therapy (CLT) is an allied health profession that involves evidence-based interventions that focus on supporting, educating, and empowering young people through their healthcare journey.
