Course Description: Hosted by Northwest Center Kids, the Hospital-to-Home™ three day training is an interdisciplinary 3-day training that instructs providers on supporting the specific mental health, feeding, and nutrition care needs of infants and caregivers transitioning from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to home. While NICU infants are at high risk for feeding and growth concerns, their caregivers are also at significant risk of experiencing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs). Research shows high-risk infants have better outcomes transitioning out of the NICU when they receive quality therapy in the home shortly after discharge. This training helps build the workforce capacity to holistically support infants and families in the hospital-to-home transition.

Who would Benefit from this Training: Early Intervention providers (including OTs, PTs, SLPs, FRCs, TCVI, DHH), home visitors, community mental health providers, WIC, postpartum doulas, lactation consultants, peer counselors and others supporting infants and families!
