UPDATES ON THE ROADMAP PROJECT AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH NEWS

The Updated Roadmap Change Package!

The Roadmap Change Package has been updated based on feedback from clinicians, patients, and family partners who have participated in Roadmap initiatives. This Change Package provides practical tools to support emotional and mental health care. The strategies described in the Roadmap Change Package should be seen as a ‘toolkit’ for clinical teams working to improve care for patients and families living with chronic pediatric conditions. We expect that this will be a living document, expanding and improving as new resources and strategies are added, so stay tuned for updates as they arise.

A Black Mother Describes Her Experience with Bias in Healthcare

“What I’ve learned from these two experiences and many others is: All things being equal, Blackness forcibly affects your outcomes.”

She is also the mother of three sons, two of which are twins with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Robyn discussed her experience as a Black mother of children with chronic illness and the biases she experiences in a post for the American Board of Pediatrics Blog called Bias Can Affect Outcomes; Black Families Need Support.
