Access to mental health support and resources is critically important for families who find themselves in the NICU and PICU. Parents whose children are admitted to the NICU or PICU have a 45-50% greater incidence of mental health disorders such as PTSD, Anxiety & Depression. There also remains significant inequity for non-white families in the NICU, and non-preemie families in the NICU in their overall experience leading to feeling disconnected from support.
