Caregivers of children living with serious medical conditions face a myriad of decisions on behalf of their child, ranging from medical interventions – such as feeding tubes, tracheostomy, clinical trials – to out-of-home residential placement. With these decisions comes a tremendous sense of responsibility and a sometimes overwhelming fear of regret.
This event featured Dr. Aliza Olive (Cleveland Clinic) who discussed the emotional landscape of complex decision-making and highlighted supports that can be put in place to help caregivers mitigate fears and lessen the likelihood of decision regret.
