"We asked 33 different symptoms of anxiety and low mood, and at the time of discharge 1 in 2 parents reported each symptom." Learn more about the results of the @EXPANDstudy so far, and where we can help support families. #NICUMHAW23

WE DID IT!! 🎉🎉🎉 We are thrilled that the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Bill reached royal assent today! Around 60,000 parents annually will benefit from up to 12 weeks’ leave and pay when their babies are born needing neonatal care.

Totally fits with the body of literature. I love this infographic. It's time to truly advocate/lobby for improved psychological support in the NICU. Parent psychological outcomes=neurodevelopmental outcomes. #neotwitter #nicu
The results are in! The findings from our 2022 survey really highlight the need for better support for families after neonatal care. Thank you so much to the families who shared their experience to help raise awareness.

The Smallest Things is delighted that @Stuart_McDonald will introduce a Neonatal Care (Leave & Pay) Bill today. We know how important this change is for NICU families. No parent should be sitting next to an incubator worrying about work and pay. thesmallestthings.org/neonat…

Looking for parents/ carers of adolescents. If you complete our online survey, a report can be generated which can help you better understand and support your child's psychological needs and commincate them to others. Take part in the research here: uclpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jf…
