During our patient panel at MPN Roundtable ™ this year, one of our Patient Impact Council members expressed needing help explaining her disease to her younger children and didn’t know where to turn for these resources.  This brought on a candid discussion that led to the discovery of a child life specialist!  A child life specialist is a trained professional who helps children, and their families cope with the challenges of illness, hospitalization, and treatment. For parents living with MPN blood cancers, these specialists can provide invaluable support by offering emotional guidance, educational resources, and therapeutic play activities that help children understand and manage their feelings. Benefits include: Emotional Support: Helping children express their fears and anxieties in a safe environment. Education: Explaining medical procedures and treatments in a child-friendly manner. Coping Strategies: Teaching techniques to handle stress and adapt to changes. Family Support: Offering guidance to parents on how to communicate effectively with their children about their illnesses. Child Life Specialists play a crucial role in ensuring the emotional well-being of both children and their families during difficult times. Learn more about how they can support you and your family.

Accurate information sharing is essential from patient advocacy organizations and providers alike to help communities understand the complexities of diagnosis and drive forward research to improve care and outcomes.

There are a few factors related to endometriosis rights, advocacy and healthcare.  Endometriosis education is severely low and needs to be included in formal education, so individuals can make informed decisions about their health (Holowka et al., 2022. Advocacy should focus on using education, media and community outreach to raise awareness. Advocacy is also important in informing policies affecting endometriosis treatment and management (Alliance for Period Supplies, 2023). Individuals with endometriosis also need to understand their rights to access appropriate medical care and support (Holowka et al., 2022).
