We are so very excited to announce the line up for next week’s Neonatal Mental Health Awareness Week !! It’s all been going on behind the scenes and we can’t wait to relaunch the week, with a focus on ‘The First Six Months’ come and take a look! #neotwitter #nicu #nicumhaw23


It's the first day of #NICUMHAW23, and today we're focused on the first day at home, and what that's like for families. We're hearing from EXPANDstudy & Anita and sharing experiences from parents throughout the day! Join in the chatter with #NICUMHAW23


"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

If you'd like to get involved and support the EXPANDstudy take a look at how you can be part of this crucial research in our video. #NICUMHAW23

Thank you so much to the lovely Katherine for sharing insight into the EXPANDstudy as part of #NICUMHAW23. If you'd like to speak to Katherine, we've popped her email on the video above, and you can follow her on social media too!
