ADAPT: A Web-Based Intervention for Bereaved Parents – 1 CE Hour

The intervention, called “ADAPT” includes Asking for assistance (option to connect with child’s healthcare team); Developing Adaptive ability (self-management tools: e.g. stress reduction, legacy building); P: Accessing Pertinent online resources (grief support networks/websites); and T: Tracking one’s health (self-administered surveys for grief, sleep, anxiety, and depression).
