Image The Medical Coping Team at Children's Hospital Boston works with patients and their familes to help them adjust to the stress caused by medical experiences.

We understand that children and their families who are facing physical illness, medical procedures or hospitalizations are often confused, frightened and anxious. Therefore, our experienced team of pediatric psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals provide effective, compassionate evaluation, education, counseling and therapy to help them cope.

By providing patients and families with practical coping strategies, we can help them prevent or better deal with the emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with medical experiences.
