Childhood Cancer International – Europe has initiated mapping efforts across Europe to enhance psychosocial care for children with cancer. This initiative, known as IMPACT-EU, aims to identify existing services and gaps in accessible emotional, social, and practical support for young patients and their families.
Cancer not only impacts physical health but also poses significant emotional and psychological challenges for children, adolescents, and their families. The organization emphasizes that every child and family deserves access to comprehensive care, regardless of their location.
The IMPACT-EU mapping project seeks to foster more equitable and coordinated psychosocial support by gathering data on services available throughout Europe. Childhood Cancer International encourages individuals working in pediatric oncology clinics to participate in their survey, which will contribute to building a clearer understanding of psychosocial care availability.
Healthcare professionals are invited to either take part in the survey directly or share the link with pediatric clinics in their regions. The mapping effort is intended to gather critical insights that will inform better strategies for supporting children and families navigating their cancer journeys.
For further details on the mapping initiative and how to participate, interested parties can access the survey through the provided online link.
