Handbook: Caring Decisions

Caring Decisions is a handbook developed at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne Australia for families of children facing a decision to stop, or not start life support.  It refers particularly to decisions about intensive medical treatment but is also relevant for children not in intensive care units.  The aim of the handbook is to help parents think through questions they may be facing.   The handbook is being published in two forms - a short printed booklet that outlines a few common questions about end of life decisions and a longer version online version.  Both versions includes quotes and stories from parents who have faced end-of-life decisions.
