Families and clinicians will have an opportunity to reflect upon and consider their current clinical conversations in light of what families articulate serves them best. Participants will have the opportunity to explore ways that better serve and support family resilience. Insights gleaned from this presentation may also help EPI programs to adapt their services to better align with EPI parents’ needs.
