This is together with the understanding that health professionals working with parents experiencing chronic physical illness are well placed to hold preventative conversations to help reduce the negative impacts for children.Throughout this course, you will consider how the parent’s illness may impact their physical and mental health, parenting and family functioning. And what effect these impacts may have on their children’s wellbeing.
This session will cover:
You will be introduced to the PERCS Conversation Guide, which is a short, semi-structured and evidence-informed psychosocial discussion tool developed from consultations with practitioners and parents. It will help you facilitate conversations with patients or clients who are parents about the impact of adult physical illness on children’s lives. It is a preventative and proactive approach that encourages shared understanding and decision making with parents.
