This presentation will focus on action-based strategies for incorporating culturally conscious assessment for children of adult patients in palliative and hospice care, with a specific emphasis on engaging historically minoritized families in meaningful conversations about coping mechanisms, emotional well-being, and social support systems. The session will explore how healthcare providers can move beyond deficit perspectives and shift toward cultural consciousness, mitigating implicit bias and negative stereotypes, and facilitating family-centered discussions that address the unique circumstances influencing the children’s psychological and emotional health.
