CPN is a nonprofit organization that provides curated digital resources and programming to help caregivers navigate the illness journey with support and a sense of community. At the center of CPN are parent and clinician voices that illuminate and share the lived family experience, focusing on social, functional, and emotional needs and the positive impact of “palliative-aware” practices, regardless of diagnosis and without bias. CPN resources include video and podcast interviews, educational guides and learning path-ways, parent-generated blogs, and a clinician portal offering materials for use in self- and colleague education. CPN’s programming includes a robust social media presence, monthly educational webinars and newsletters and both live and virtual presentations to clinician audiences, biotech leaders, and patient organizations. CPN partners with others to bring the family perspective to clinical research and a wide range of communication (or media) outlets. CPN staff also presents at family and industry conferences, and at pediatric hospital Grand Rounds.
