Please note we are organising an International Conference on Psychosocial Support Strategies for Children with Serious Illness which we are holding in conjunction with the Department of Psychology of Trinity College, Dublin on May 24th and 25th 2001.

The conference will examine current best practice in
the psychosocial support of seriously ill children
offering keynote presentations, plenary sessions and
workshops on the following themes:

Psychosocial Impact of Life Threatening Illness
Balancing medical needs with psychosocial support
Creating a therapeutic Milieu
Family-centred Approaches
Therapeutic Aspects of Recreation
Serious Fun: The Barretstown Model

I would be very grateful if you would post this message to your bulletin board so as to let your collegues know about this important event which is of interest to all those concerned with the welfare of
seriously ill children.

Thanks and regards,

Vivienne Flood.
