Psychological Support
Having a baby admitted to the NICU can lead to intense stress for families. Parents face fears, uncertainties, and an unfamiliar environment. The NICU has two psychologists on staff who are available to families to provide professional support, counseling, and guidance during this understandably challenging time. Our psychologists take part in parent orientation classes. In addition, they often make rounds in the NICU introducing themselves to families to offer any assistance that may be needed.
