Pediatric advance care planning (ACP) is a unique and often misunderstood aspect of serious illness care. While adult ACP focuses on autonomy and future decision-making, pediatric ACP requires an approach centered on developmental stages, family dynamics, and evolving clinical trajectories.

In this webinar, learners will explore how pediatric ACP differs from adult models, learn about tools specifically designed to support children and families in these conversations, and gain a practical understanding of the NeuroJourney framework and its application.

Whether you're new to pediatric care or seeking to refine your approach, this session will offer case based insights and supportive resources for guiding families through some of the most difficult yet meaningful decisions they face.
