About

In this course, developed with the UCLA Family Development Program, some of the basic concepts of trauma and resilience informed care will be examined. It focuses on how to improve the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) experience for families and, in turn, improve infant health outcomes. Several situations that may be encountered in the NICU are explored and ways to help alleviate the impact of trauma for families, providers, and the people with whom we work are reviewed.
