Rapid advances in medical technology have resulted in increased survival of children with chronic illness. As a result, growing numbers of adolescents and their families need psychosocial services. This article calls for further efforts by social workers to address the needs of chronically ill adolescents. Psychosocial interventions to aid adolescents are described, and the potential application of communication technologies such as computers and videos to traditional therapeutic and educational services is discussed.
