Qlif-10. family camp: a multi-disciplinary, holistic intervention for brain tumor patients and their families

CONCLUSIONS:A multi-disciplinary program focused on patients’ families improves psycho-social stressors. Data suggest that support programs designed for entire families may be an important intervention that improves quality-of-life and perception of the "illness" experience. Sustainability of observed benefits are unknown, but serial interventions are likely important in this patient population with variable disease trajectories.
