A new model of health and healing is needed for sick children and young people and their families. Traditional models of healing promote a body-mind split, which can make for a lack of connection between helping professionals, and neglect collaboration with young people and their families. Systemic healing is described as a new approach to health that is rooted in multiple theories and integrates ecosystemic concepts and biopsychosocial models of health. Clinical application of systemic healing is achieved with the ecosystemic biopsychosocial grid (EBG). The EBG is a tool that can be used to facilitate the formation of an interdisciplinary collaborative goal, to conceptualize obstacles and resources relative to the goal, and to design focused systemic interventions that reverberate throughout multiple contexts of the sick person’s life.

Key Words: ecosystemic biopsychosocial grid • health and healing models • interdisciplinary collaborative care • sick children and young people • systemic healing
