Immigration policies are creating impossible choices for NICU families. Parents are afraid to visit their infants, deterred by anti-immigrant rhetoric and fear of U.S. ICE actions at hospitals. @neodrswenson.bsky.social and I wrote about this here: www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

<2 weeks left to register with early 🐦‍⬛ rates! Join us @neoconsortium.bsky.social symposium this fall. We’ll troubleshoot barriers to supporting NICU parent mental health, discuss screening for symptoms beyond depression & inclusive of dads & partners, practice trauma informed conversations & more!

As much as we celebrate babies going home from the NICU, their families’ need for support doesn’t end there. Check out our recent perspectives piece on how we might change systems to provide family centered care, inclusive of mental healthcare, after NICU discharge!

Immigration policies are creating impossible choices for NICU families. Parents are afraid to visit their infants, deterred by anti-immigrant rhetoric and fear of U.S. ICE actions at hospitals. Ask your legislator to support the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act. With @neodrswenson.bsky.social

We’ll also share strategies for promoting wellbeing amongst NICU team members & advocating within your institution for more embedded psychosocial support for NICU families. Hope to see you there! @lamiasoghier.bsky.social @joannelagattamd.bsky.social @nicupodcast.bsky.social @unmccom.bsky.social
