ABOUT THIS SESSION:

The experience of newborn intensive care may be a traumatic life event. Embracing a trauma informed approach to the care of babies and families in crisis mitigates suffering and cultivates resilience.

Ms. Coughlin will talk about the power of love to transcend trauma and describe what love looks like in the NICU, how parents can advocate for love during their hospital stay, plus she will answer questions from the participants.

"Love is critical for survival. Love releases hormones and chemicals in a baby’s brain that encourages rapid brain growth and development while promoting physical and emotional health and well-being. Love is at the heart of a trauma-informed approach."
- Mary Coughlin
