About us
CPN is a nonprofit organization that provides curated digital resources and programming to help caregivers navigate the illness journey with support and a sense of community. At the center of CPN are parent and clinician voices that illuminate and share the lived family experience, focusing on social, functional, and emotional needs and the positive impact of “palliative-aware” practices, regardless of diagnosis and without bias. CPN resources include video and podcast interviews, educational guides and learning path- ways, parent-generated blogs, and a clinician portal offering materials for use in self- and colleague education. CPN’s programming includes a robust social media presence, monthly educational webinars and newsletters and both live and virtual presentations to clinician audiences, biotech leaders, and patient organizations. CPN partners with others to bring the family perspective to clinical research and a wide range of communication (or media) outlets. CPN staff also presents at family and industry conferences, and at pediatric hospital Grand Rounds.

November is Children and Teens Grief Awareness Month. Children’s literature can offer a gentle and developmentally appropriate way to address complex topics – such as death and grief – with children. Reading books with trusted adults can facilitate conversation and strengthen relationships. Check out CPN's curated bibliography. https://bit.ly/3UGBWUW #griefawareness #grief #raredisease

While friends and family intend to lean in, they may worry about doing or saying the wrong thing or becoming too sad, and thus not take that step. But, showing up for a family caring for a child with a serious illness can make all the difference. In observance of National Family Caregivers Month we offer these tips to help you show up.

For parents considering enrolling their child in a clinical trial, accurate information is a roadmap for making the best decision for their child and family. They must consider not only the medical risks and benefits of participation but also what impact participation might have on their day-to-day life: partnership, job, other children, other commitments. This guide provides a list of questions to help facilitate conversations. https://bit.ly/4f5AzaG #clinicaltrial #decisionmaking #caregiver

Many children are living with rare conditions for which there are not yet treatments. Fortunately, the evolving landscape of potential new therapies and associated clinical trials offers great hope. But, like all of the other topics that may require your attention, the prospect of clinical trial comes along with the need to learn many new terms and concepts, some complicated decision-making, and the potential for disappointment and grief. The more you understand about clinical trials, the better equipped you will be to navigate this landscape. #clinicaltrial #decisionmaking #raredisease

Maria Hopfgarten discusses the vital role anticipatory guidance plays in raising a child and how it is so often lacking for those with medically complex needs. As a parent champion at Courageous Parents Network (CPN) she is a fierce supporter of their newest resource NeuroJourney, something she says would have proved invaluable when caring for her son Jacob.
