Psychosocial Needs of Families with Children with Medical Complexity

Courtney Holmes,, Tiffany Kimbrough

Approximately 3 million U.S. children are considered to have medical complexity, a subset of children that are the most medically fragile, have highest healthcare utilization, special education accommodations, unmet mental health needs but who are living longer lives with improved medical advancements. Families with children with medical complexity often experience a myriad of physical, mental, and financial stressors impacting their well-being, family functioning, and mental health. Pediatric providers can prepare themselves to better understanding the unique factors of families with children with medical complexity and inform their clinical approaches with trauma-informed and health equity lenses. As children with medical complexity and their siblings are often seen in general pediatric environments, the unique psychosocial needs of families will be discussed to benefit pediatric providers.
