Mission Statement
NICU Families Northwest provides practical, ongoing, social and emotional support to NICU families in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Description
We believe peer-to-peer support and community-building is the single most effective way to mitigate the immense emotional, social, and physical strain on parents and families coping with a NICU experience. We provide a platform for realistic, real-time, peer-to-peer feedback to promote parent and family health in the local NICU community.
We create opportunities for NICU families in Oregon and SW Washington to connect in meaningful ways that promote emotional healing, community-building, and resource sharing.
Founded in 2015, our core programming consists of a web-based P2P network, inpatient community building, and parent-baby bonding through the development of foundational family literacy habits.
