Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper describes the development of 'Me for Us,' an eight-session group intervention for parents of children recently diagnosed with cancer. The program was co-created through a participatory research process involving parents and clinicians to address gaps in psychosocial support. Grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the manualized model aims to enhance psychological well-being and family support capacity.
