Family Support
Our Family Support Program is designed not only for children receiving palliative care but also for their families and the professionals who care for them. Through our Psychosocial Care Team(PCT)— funded by the Comprehensive Care Program for People with Advanced Illnesses of Fundación “la Caixa” — we offer tailored psychological, social, and spiritual support to meet each family’s unique needs, ensuring they are accompanied with dignity, empathy, and strength throughout the journey.
Psychological Support
We help families cope with the emotional impact of illness, from the moment of diagnosis through the progression of the disease — and, when necessary, the farewell. Our personalized care supports both children and their loved ones in navigating this complex process.
We also provide support for healthcare professionals, helping prevent emotional burnout and strengthening their capacity to accompany families with sensitivity and resilience. Psychological care is a vital part of ensuring holistic well-being in pediatric palliative care.
Social Support
Social intervention is a cornerstone of pediatric palliative care. At Fundación porqueViven, we guide families through the challenges of daily life brought on by illness: family reorganization, care planning, housing adaptations, conflict resolution, community integration, rights awareness, available social resources, and end-of-life planning.
Our social work is grounded in ethical principles and values such as dignity, respect, self-determination, equal opportunity, and social justice — ensuring every family can make informed decisions and face the process with confidence and peace of mind.
Spiritual Support
We offer children, families, and professionals spiritual and existential carethroughout the illness and at the end of life. This support is not tied to any specific religion, but rather respects each person’s beliefs, values, and spiritual needs.
Our aim is to offer comfort, help families find meaning in suffering, and promote inner peace. We provide space for reflection, grief, and acceptance — always in an atmosphere of respect and dignity.
Bereavement Support
At Fundación porqueViven we walk alongside families in their grief, helping them navigate the pain, process the loss, and adapt to a new reality.
We approach bereavement care through psychological, social, and spiritual lenses, offering tools to manage grief in a healthy way that respects each family’s pace and personal experience.Through support groups and personalized care, we encourage emotional expression, normalize the grieving process, and help prevent long-term psychological complications.
