Exploring the complex care journey: Tools and strategies to support families

Target Audience

This Conference is primarily aimed at volunteers active in MUSCO's Initiative partner who would like to learn more about the support they can offer families whose children require complex care during their hospital visit.

It is thanks to the collaboration of the teams of four Montreal pediatric centers, namely, the CHU Sainte-Justine, the Marie Enfant Rehabilitation Centre, the Montreal Children's Hospital and the Shriners Hospitals for Children - Canada, and in cooperation with Le Phare, Enfants et Familles, that the second edition of this conference will bring together pediatric volunteers around a unifying theme: Exploring the complex care journey.
