A Bereavement Support Group for Caregivers: A Collaborative Effort (QI646)

Literature demonstrates family caregivers of oncology patients experience stressors and may benefit from psychosocial support.

A bereavement support group (BSG) consisting of oncology and palliative care team members is one way to help address this gap.
