Re: Programs for Families of Chronically Ill Originally Posted by thejackattack21

I'm a nursing student beginning my final year of school (hooray!), and thinking about what I want to do in the future. Through clinicals and personal experience, I have noticed that the families of chronically ill patients (particularly children whose parents are sick, or children whose siblings are sick) are often sorely neglected. I would love to work with this population. Does anyone know of any organizations that are involved in this? Any suggestions for further contacts/research?
Thanks!
NO, I don't but I am also looking to do the same thing and going back to school to help educated families about the chronically ill and form support groups for others going through similar things. As a child of a parent who was ill for years it is sooo hard on you mentally as you feel alone and nobody is listening or wanna help you. I remember being 15 and a doctor blamed us kids for not getting her to the hospital sooner
. I wish something was offered to me back then. Every since my mom's passed away last year I want to offer my help to others.
