I am a very passionate nurse, specialising in children and palliative care and have gained many enriching experiences in home care for families with a child with a life-limiting illness.

Selina Boppart
Specialist responsibility for the psychosocial area
I put my heart and creativity into my work as an educator (CAS in PPC), sibling specialist and family bereavement counselor for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.

Sibling specialist
As a psychologist, it is important to me to support people in challenging life situations with empathy, understanding and a holistic view. Working with families affected by a life-shortening diagnosis has a profound impact on the entire family dynamic.
