Comprehensive and effective emergency medical care of a child requires family involvement. Collaboration with families improves care and is helpful to providers when care is being delivered under difficult circumstances. To build a system of care that is responsive to the needs of children and families, emergency personnel need education and training that provides information and tools regarding how to best involve families during a medical emergency. The following documents were developed by the NAEMT under contract to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to provide guidance for prehospital care professionals in this area. The documents below are in the public domain.
