The NICU experience is tough! But believe it or not you can come through this difficult time stronger, smarter, and as an even better parent. Let us arm you with information and hear from others who have had similar experiences and can share some hope and understanding. You are not alone! Join Hand to Hold’s Family Support Navigator Erika Goyer for “The NICU Survival Guide: What Every Parent Needs to Know.” These are twice monthly meetings where we get together to socialize, learn, and support one another. Parents, grandparents and friends are always welcome. And did we mention there’s pizza?
