Supporting Fathers
and Other Males
Do men encounter different challenges or react and behave differently
when confronted with a loved one’s serious illness? Especially if that
loved one is a child? These questions are explored in the latest issue of
NHPCO’s pediatric newsletter, edited and produced by members of the
Children’s Project on Palliative/Hospice Services (ChiPPS).
“Our primary goal in this issue is to honor and promote the perspectives
of these men,” note the editors. “And, at the same time, we also want
to contribute to a better understanding of what it is like to walk in their
shoes and how the assistance offered to them can be improved when
a child is facing a life-threatening illness, is
dying, or has already died.”
Download a copy of the issue — and feel free

of the NHPCO website for past issues of the
newsletter and other pediatric resources.
