Why Join
The NICU is a place of both beauty and stress. Every moment of connection matters—especially when it includes the healing power of touch.
In this 60-minute webinar, Mary E. Coughlin, creator of the Trauma-Informed Professional (TIP) Certificate Program, and Yamile Jackson, NICU parent, PhD engineer, and creator of The Zaky® and Kangaroo Care Day (May 15), come together to share a new vision for NICU care.
You’ll explore how trauma, stress, and separation silently shape the NICU experience—and how science, skin-to-skin (kangaroo) care, and soul can transform it.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
-
Recognize the NICU as a potentially traumatic experience and its impact on babies, families, and staff.
-
Reflect on how presence and touch help reduce stress and foster healing.
-
Explore how trauma-informed developmental care (TIDC) and skin-to-skin (kangaroo) contact work together to build resilience.
-
Discover how becoming a Trauma-Informed Professional (TIP) can elevate your practice and your system of care.
