Support for NICU Families
The Family-Centered Care Taskforce
The Family-Centered Care (FCC) Taskforce stands as a pioneering force, being the FIRST international, multicenter, collaborative initiative solely dedicated to quality improvement in NICU family-centered care. We exist to equip and support NICUs as they seek to begin or strengthen Family-Centered Care in their units, and offer free educational webinars with engaging, live Q&A sessions and free monthly office hours sessions to support these efforts. Our key strength is equal partnership between clinicians and family partners in everything we do.
Free Monthly Support Group
Wheel Good Motherhood is a free monthly peer support group for current and prospective wheelchair-using moms to join together and discuss the ups and downs of mothering on wheels. This group offers a safe and supportive space to share experiences, resources and stories about being a mother with a disability. By sharing, we feel less alone and more empowered, and this group can help you find a community of moms who get it! We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at noon PST/3pm EST.
