  1. One thing to do: ask your care teamThey send it. You give them what they need.

    Children's Healthcare of Atlanta takes requests from your care team, not from families. Copy this message, or say it at the next visit.

    Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for us? They offer meetings with a pediatric psychologist during hospital stays or clinic visits, and it has to come from you. Their page is here: https://www.choa.org/medical-services/cancer-and-blood-disorders/psychology-program

Tell me what you need from me and I’ll bring it to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.
