The parents of children and youth affected by a range of chronic medical conditions face unique, and at times overwhelming, challenges. Parents spend time advocating for their children, navigating complex medical systems, worrying alongside their child about their health and associated problems with persistent pain and functional disability, while also planning for their transition into young adulthood. However, it is rare to find a designated space in our healthcare system for the parents of these children to receive much-needed resources and services for the stressors they face. Parents often feel alone or poorly understood as a caregiver facing the barriers associated with navigating their child's healthcare and developmental needs.This parent workbook, which extends and expands the Children's Health and Illness Recovery Program (CHIRP) Clinician Guide and the CHIRP Teen and Family Workbook, specifically targets the needs of parents by providing evidence-based tools to support their coping and navigating the complexities of their child's health and development while reducing their sense of isolation. This skills-based approach provides practical information to help parents develop their own strategies to support their child through critical developmental transitions, challenges, and successes while also meeting their own coping and emotional needs.Packed with worksheets, evidence-based activities, and case examples, this workbook offers a tool to help parents support their child's growing need for independence while also exploring their own needs, strengths, and coping skills using practical and research-backed techniques to facilitate making time for themselves to thrive as well. While this workbook can serve as a stand-alone resource for parents, it provides guidelines for parents and clinicians to use these tools in networking with other families dealing with a wide range of chronic health conditions.
