NICU Parents Support Group
An hour-long informational session that focuses on enhancing a parent's developing relationship with his or her NICU newborn.
Presented by Sharp Mary Birch Hospital
Parent Hour is a free support group for parents with babies in the NICU. It empowers parents to become more knowledgeable about their premature infants and gives them specific ways to be active in the care of their child.
Grandparents, family members, friends and other caregivers who will help to care for baby once he or she is discharged from the NICU are encouraged to attend to become more knowledgeable about premature infants and support mom and dad.
A light snack is provided to encourage socialization and provide informal opportunities to share experiences and establish friendships with fellow parents. Parents may start attending Parent Hour at any point during their newborn's stay in the NICU.
