“For the mapping efforts of IMPACT-EU and to support you in helping us let’s dive deep in terminology!
Psychosocial care addresses the psychological needs of patients and families through evidence-based assessment and professional interventions.
Access to psychosocial care is guided by an assessment, screening process or clinical judgement.
Its intensity is adapted to the person’s identified needs.
Psychosocial care is delivered by qualified professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, social workers and child life specialists, with appropriate training and clinical responsibilities.
It includes professional accountability, documentation and an evidence base.
