Find support

Knowing what support is available can provide comfort during tough times. Start by talking to healthcare professionals, who can give you advice and information about the NICU experience, helping you understand what to expect.

 

You can also find online resources and support groups for NICU parents, where you will get useful information and emotional support. 

 

Hospital websites often have helpful resources and FAQs, and joining parent support groups lets you connect with others who understand what you are going through. 

 

Local organisations and charities may also offer services like counselling or peer support groups, where you can share your feelings and get advice from others who’ve had similar experiences.

 

For information and support near you, visit your local parent organisation’s website.
