Emotional and Psychological Support

Emotional and psychological support in palliative care focuses on helping patients and their families cope with the emotional challenges of serious illness. This includes providing a safe space to express fears, anxieties, and sadness, as well as guidance to help manage these feelings. Trained professionals, such as counselors or social workers, assist in addressing issues like grief, loss, and decision-making. This support aims to enhance quality of life by promoting emotional well-being and helping individuals find peace and meaning during a difficult time. It complements medical care by treating the whole person, not just their physical symptoms.
