1. Emotional Support: They offer counseling and support to help families cope with the emotional impact of illness or disability. 2. Resource Navigation: They assist families in accessing healthcare services, financial aid, and community resources. 3. Advocacy: They advocate for the rights and needs of the child within the healthcare system and the community. 4. Education: They educate families about their child’s condition, treatment options, and ways to manage care at home.
