There continues to be significant data highlighting the workforce shortage in pediatric palliative care. As the number of children with chronic, complex and life-limiting illness continues to increase, the training needs of physicians and healthcare teams has increased as well. Many adult providers, family practitioners and smaller hospice teams have identified training as the leading barrier to their ability to provide end-of-life care to children. Larger systems with new or established pediatric palliative care (PPC) teams often struggle to find time for education or funding to support professional development.
A team from Pennsylvania’s Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition (PPCC), Greater Illinois Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition (GIPPCC), Children’s Hospice & Palliative Care Coalition of California (CHPCC), and the CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care have collaborated to offer the PPC Webinar Series to raise the visibility of pediatric palliative care and to build clinicians’ competencies and confidence in providing care to children.

The purpose of this talk is to highlight the growing population of parents as long-term caregivers who experience significant psychological distress and trauma; to offer the most advanced guidance to all providers about how to recognize and treat this population; and to offer our own leadership experiences within the hospital setting to improve care for children and their families.
Sandra Clancy, PhD; Justine Dellaria, MSW, LICSW
The number of children living with medical complexity in the United States increases each year due to advances in medicine. These children live with serious chronic conditions, significant functional limitations and the support of medical technology such as feeding tubes and tracheostomies. Their parents face caregiver burdens (often taking on medical tasks for which they are not trained), the necessity of advocating for their child’s essential healthcare needs and coordinating many services within and outside the hospital. Parents may experience psychological distress in the form of anxiety, depression, and chronic and traumatic stress. While healthcare systems have not yet established consistent approaches to recognizing and treating parents’ needs, providers can address the unique challenges of this population of parents and advocate for system changes in this area.

Methadone, when dosed appropriately, may improve pain control for children even when other opioids have been insufficient. Providers are often hesitant to prescribe methadone for children due to somewhat complex pharmacology. Attendees will apply knowledge gained from this session to patient case studies, increasing confidence and understanding when to initiate, monitor, and care for children on methadone safely and effectively.
Melissa Hunt, PharmD, BCPPS
Pain is a frequent and distressing symptom in children receiving hospice and palliative care. Unfortunately, patients may have inadequate pain control with some opioids. Methadone, when dosed appropriately, may improve pain control even when other opioids have been insufficient. Providers are often hesitant to prescribe methadone for children due to somewhat complex pharmacology. Attendees will apply knowledge gained from this session to patient case studies, increasing confidence and understanding when to initiate, monitor, and care for children on methadone safely and effectively.

This webinar will provide concrete tools for analysis and resolution of critical situations when parents request treatment that may not help (and may potentially harm) their child.
Robert Macauley, MD, FAAP, FAAHPM
Unlike in adult medicine—where sometimes there may be an ethical concern that families are “giving up too soon” on a patient—in pediatrics the concern is almost always the opposite: parents requesting treatment that may not help (and may potentially harm) the child. In those situations, palliative care and hospice teams may experience moral distress and be unsure how to navigate complex ethical and interpersonal issues, and where to turn for help. This webinar will provide concrete tools for analysis and resolution of these critical situations.
1. Identify ethical obligations to a pediatric patient and the family
2. Explore the distinctions between moral distress, moral uncertainty, and moral angst
3. Formulate a practical approach to responding to parental requests for potentially non-beneficial treatment

Utilizing the Models of Disability and personal anecdotes, the presenters will illustrate how we can better provide equitable and inclusive care for all our patients and their families.
1. Distinguish how to normalize disabilities
2. Illustrate how providers see the child vs. the diagnosis
3. Correlate firsthand experiences navigating the medical system as parent/child vs. patient/medical provider
Dawn graduated from San Jose State with a Bachelor’s in Health Science in 1979, then in 1981, went to the University of California, San Francisco for her certificate in Physical therapy. In 2009, Dawn went back to school for her Doctorate in Pediatric Physical Therapy at Drexel University. Over the past 40 years she has worked in nearly every setting in which PT is needed. Dawn has extensive experience in orthopedics and rehabilitation, but her dream job came in 2000 when she started work in early intervention for a local school district. Working with families and their new babies was a gift beyond words. It wasn’t long before Dawn’s work at the school district led to working with older students and becoming more involved with the equipment required to allow them to access the educational environment. Working with students with mobility needs, and often in conjunction, communication needs allowed her to meet some of her favorite people with incredible skills. Students were the teachers when it came to using the latest technology to speak, write, and create. In December 2021, Dawn retired from working in public education, with a lifetime of memories and friends. In 2013, Dawn began teaching anatomy and physiology to nursing students. She is currently an assistant professor at Unitek College and is working with a team on a developing Physical Therapy Assistant Program. Dawn is honored to be the “Queen Mother” to Ms. Wheelchair America, who has led her on a journey far beyond anything she ever imagined.
For as long as she’s been able to talk, Christine has never been afraid to speak her mind. At the age of three she got up in front of the March of Dimes saying “My name is Christine and I use a wheelchair, and now I’m going to eat my mac n’ cheese,” proudly solidifying her role as a disabled advocate.
By the time she was six, her performing began. The pinnacle of Christine’s childhood came at the age of 10 when her mom took her to her first day playing youth wheelchair basketball at the Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program (BORP) in Berkeley, CA. Here Christine not only learned the skills needed to run a successful pick and roll, but the chance to interact, learn and develop with people who were just like her. With the help of her peers, she learned how to navigate airports with her basketball chair and luggage, pop down curbs when no curb cutout was available, see the country and realize that she could live an independent and full life.
In 2007 Christine attended the University of Arizona, after receiving a scholarship to play on the Nationally ranked U.S. Women’s Wheelchair Basketball team. In her second year at the U of A she joined the wheelchair tennis team and become a writing skills coach for incoming minority students. The group of new students she mentored included first generation college students, international students and students with disabilities. In 2010 Christine transferred to the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. While U of A is known for their competitive adaptive athletics program, she was able to reconnect with her passion for the disability community at the UOP.
As a Communications Major, she had the unique opportunity to study the impact of the media on the disability community and present her findings at a research conference of her peers and outside professionals. Christine graduated cum laude in 2012. Her life became the true definition of “this is real life” when, after nearly a decade in the corporate world, Christine landed a role as a talent manager representing high profile Deaf and Disabled talent at C Talent Management in Los Angeles. Christine proudly uses her Ms. Wheelchair America 2022 platform to help put disability back in diversity.

She speaks both at the state level and nationally on the importance and benefits of Pediatric Hospice & Palliative Care including education, program needs, and reimbursement processes. She was the manager of the Pediatric Program at JourneyCare for 5 years before becoming the Director of Pediatric and Serious Illness Services at Lightways in July 2022. In 2011 she created a small group of child life professionals working together to help each other in the Hospice & Palliative care world. In 2022 that group grew to form the Child Life Hospice & Palliative Network (CLHPN) with the support of GIPPCC (Greater Illinois Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition). This network focuses on education and training, professional collaboration, and advocacy for child life specialists in hospice & Palliative Care.
