Description
Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Multi-Sensory Early Behavioral-Education Intervention for Parents of Extreme Preterm Infants
EMPOWER is an early intervention behavioral-education program addressing the educational needs of parents of preterm infants. This family-centered program empowers parents to become involved in their baby’s care while, at the same time, improving mental health outcomes and parent confidence.
The Volunteer Breastfeeding Peer Mentor Program at the ICN at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth —Improvement Through Peer Support
Partnering with graduate families to devise, develop and maintain a program to enhance the support available to moms pumping or breastfeeding in the often stressful environment of an Intensive Care Nursery leads to improvement in various and often unexpected ways.
