Education, Resources and Support for NICU Families
Kelli Kelley
Founder and Executive Director, Hand to Hold
Austin, TX
Having a baby in the NICU
causes a constant state of
severe emotional stress.
The emotional, physical, financial and psychological
fallout of caring for their children often blind-sides families.
This prolonged stress can have a
profound impact on the entire family
unit, often resulting in PTSD, depression,
separation, divorce and child abuse.
Depression is Common for NICU Parents
60% of preemie parents
were at risk for depression
during NICU, and 20% at
risk even up to 2 yrs. after
delivery.
−High risk if baby is medically fragile.
−Greatest risk if baby required re-hospitalization.
--DeMier, Callahan, Callahan, Miles, Cho, Hutala
In order for NICU babies to
thrive after discharge, they need
smart, informed parents who
understand their needs and are
emotionally and physically
capable of caring for a medically
fragile child.
MISSION

navigation resources and support programs
