In this week's newsletter: How NICU procedures have adapted due to COVID-19, how to find virtual support, resources for parents who have experienced a loss, and raising awareness for Black maternal mental health.

How NICUs Have Adapted During COVID-19

NICUs around the country have had to adapt their procedures quickly to rapidly changing information and recommendations. We spoke to our Family Support Specialists and with the Director of NICU and Neonatal Transport at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, TX about the changes NICUs have made to ensure families and staff are safe from COVID-19. 

Virtual Support Groups

Virtual support groups are available Monday through Friday for NICU families at all stages of the journey. Find a group that fits your schedule today! 

Resources for Bereaved Parents

July is annually recognized as Bereaved Parents Awareness Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness of the support necessary when one endures the loss of a child. To the parents who have experienced a loss, we want you to know that you are not alone.

What Parents Are Saying

"It's meant so much to be able to talk to someone who understands my daily struggles, fears, and anxiety."
