At Children's Hospital Boston, there is tremendous focus on patient and family care, both physical and emotional. Because hospital stays can be a stressful time for patients and families, psychiatric services are available to help sooth emotions and alleviate the stress that patients and families may never have comprehended experienced before.

Lourival Baptista, M.D., Director of the Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation Service at Children's Hospital Boston, is a child and adolescent psychiatrist available tohelp families cope when their child is in the hospital. Rachel Tunick, PhD, a staff child psychologist, is available to work with children and their families in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. In addition, David R. DeMaso, MD, Psychiatrist-in-Chief at Children's Hospital Boston, is on our Cardiology Team working closely with Drs. Baptisa and Tunick to understand the factors that facilitate resiliency and coping in families facing pediatric heart disease.

Requesting assistance
Requests for psychiatric consultation from Drs. Baptista and Tunick as well as their colleagues, can be made for patients or their families by any member of a Children's Hospital Boston medical or surgical team (including housestaff, nursing and social services), as well as by patients and families themselves, with the approval of the attending physician.

Dr. DeMaso has prepared a practical guide to help parents if their child is facing a significant cardiac procedure or hospitalization: Helping Your Child With Medical Experiences: A Practical Parent Guide (pdf). Together with his colleagues, he has also created the Cardiac Experience Journal y Transplant Experience Journal which is the collective wisdom of children and parents facing pediatric heart disease.

Assistance is also available through Servicios de apoyo familiar.
