ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying an online support program designed to help parents and caregivers of children with cancer. The goal is to provide emotional and practical support to reduce feelings of distress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress that can come with caring for a child with a serious illness. The program is available in both English and Spanish, making it accessible to a wider range of families. Ultimately, the researchers hope to create a program that can be easily shared and used by many families during their journey through pediatric cancer treatment.

To participate in the trial, you must be a parent or primary caregiver of a child aged 0 to 18 who has been diagnosed with cancer. You should be able to read and speak either English or Spanish and have access to the internet through a computer or smartphone. If your child is not expected to live longer than six months, unfortunately, you would not be eligible to join. Participants can expect to engage in this online program, which aims to help them cope better with the challenges they face while caring for their child. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it’s a great opportunity for families seeking support during a difficult time.
