- NICU (NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT) PARENT SUPPORT GROUP
This support group is open to parents who have a baby in the NICU. A Registered Nurse or Certified Social Worker serves as the group facilitator. The group gives parents the opportunity to discuss their feelings with other parents and staff about having a preterm infant or an infant with specialized needs.
- PERINATAL BEREAVEMENT TEAM (PBT)
The PBT provides anticipatory guidance, emotional support, counseling services and outpatient follow-up to parents experiencing the loss of their infant. Team members-- Registered Nurses from Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, NICU and the Antepartum Units--meet with the families in the Hospital and offer telephone follow-up after discharge. They provide families with reading materials and information about community and national support groups.
