Families' Bridge to Caring Hands, a non-profit 501 (c)3 corporation founded in 2013, provides a family-centered care program that is dedicated to the education and empowerment of parents and family members facing the potential hospitalization of an infant in the NICU. Our Navigator NICU Nurse program targets antepartum mothers with a high probability of delivering an infant who will be admitted into the NICU. The program methodology provides structured staff training, accompanied by structured bilingual (English & Spanish) web-based parent resources to aid in lowering stress and providing potential parents of infants in the NICU with a clear view of what's ahead. Our goal is to prepare parents to become engaged members of the NICU care team.The program provides evidence-based on-site training to perinatal nurses (antepartum, labor and delivery, postpartum, and lactation), with additional training to NICU RNs as Navigator NICU Nurses, to give psycho-social support to family and mother during her bed rest and post NICU admission. Education content is derived from research and literature which indicates that lowering the stress levels of potential parents of infants in the NICU results in improved outcomes for both the parents and the infant following delivery. Our program trains designated Navigator NICU Nurses to work with potential parents of NICU infants by providing structured information throughout their stay in the antepartum unit and continues after the infant's NICU admission. This one-on-one support and improved staff-parent communication allows for better parent focus on the infant's care post-delivery.
