Against The Wind

What's it like to help families and individuals navigate incredibly difficult healthcare decisions they never dreamed they'd have to make, especially when the patient is a child? 

Palliative Care Social Worker Shannon Barnes explains the ways she and her team at Texas Children's Hospital provide support to patients and their families; the appropriate time to introduce their services into a patient's care plan (spoiler alert: it's not at end of life); and how she uses music as a therapeutic release when dealing with her own grief. 

Produced by Nick Rumacyzk. Theme music: "P to the A" by Anonymous Novels.
