Healing Hearts and Minds - Liza Morton - Bog

Healing Hearts and Minds offers hope for people living with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) by providing comprehensive information, self-care guides, coping skills and strategies to thrive as well as giving support for loved ones and health care providers. Thanks to remarkable medical advancements in the past 50 years, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but many may face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity throughout their entire lives. While much attention has rightly been focused on the medical needs of these children, very little has been given to the psychosocial impacts of living with a chronic medical condition - until now.
