This presentation will discuss the implementation of Family Systems Theory and Critical Race Theory into the progressive disclosure of pediatric HIV. The theoretical foundation for progressive diagnostic disclosure is often outdated and does not consider the role of race and family systems. Our goal is to provide child life specialists with additional theoretical resources for assessing educational needs and delivering family-centered care.
