Friend,

NICU families need a hand to hold now more than ever. We are thrilled to announce a new approach to provide vital support to our families with virtual support groups.

Hand to Hold’s new, free virtual support groups allow families to access support and connect with others from the comfort and safety of their own home. We even have a specific Beyond the NICU support group for NICU graduate families and groups for our Spanish-speaking families. These groups are all free for families.

As more NICUs limit parent visitation during this time, we are here to fill in the gap for these vulnerable families and their fragile babies.

This program is supported by Huggies® as part of their #HelpingHugs campaign. Read the full press release here.

Request a Peer Mentor

Having a baby in the NICU is life altering. But you don’t have to do it alone. Request a peer mentor today and get connected, and supported by, a trained NICU graduate peer mentor. Hand to Hold carefully matches seasoned NICU and bereaved parents with new parents in need of support. 

What Parents Are Saying

"Hand to Hold brought me back into my element. The group meetings, NICU families and Christine helped me to regain my focus and find my optimism."
