Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Develop, implement, and test a unique psycho-educational program, Living with Childhood Chronic Illness (the Program), for effectiveness with parents of children who have chronic illnesses.
The investigators propose the following hypotheses:
At both 6 and 12 month follow-up points, parents taking part in the intervention, in contrast to control parents, will have:
1. Greater perceived self-efficacy regarding their ability to manage the child's chronic condition;
2. Greater parental ability to involve their child in shared management activities;
3. Greater parental ability to cope at 6 and 12 months following the end of the intervention;
4. Greater emotional health; and
5. Greater parental perceived family quality of life.
