Research

There is increasing recognition of the need to better understand how parental illness affects children, and how to best support children in these circumstances. The PACT Program has initiated several research projects to understand the needs of families in which a parent has a serious illness, as well as the needs of the professionals who care for them. Our hope is that lessons learned from research, in addition to our clinical experience, will contribute to our ability to provide useful guidance to parents facing a serious illness.
