This trial is for parents or primary caregivers, who can communicate in English or Spanish, of children aged 0-21 receiving palliative care. The child must have had a consult from the Comfort and Palliative Care team within the last month. Parents under 18 or those participating in similar studies are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests 'Bright IDEAS,' a problem-solving skills training program for parents of children in palliative care. It checks if this training is practical and helpful compared to standard support by measuring changes in parental psychological distress and well-being through self-report measures.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since 'Bright IDEAS' is a psychoeducational intervention rather than a medical treatment, it may not have physical side effects but could potentially cause emotional discomfort due to discussing sensitive topics related to their child's care.
