This symposium represents collaboration amongst the Hematology/Oncology/Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) Special Interest Group of the Society of Pediatric Psychology, American Psychological Association. Currently, there are no best practice guidelines for the provision of psychosocial care for pediatric cancer patients and their families. Therefore, the objective is to describe psychosocial service models across five institutions of varying sizes, resources, and geographical diversity to aid in our understanding of current practices.
