Summary

This study will evaluate a new neonatal follow-up model that offers additional support and coping resources for parents during their child's NICU admission as well as during their transition home. The Coached, Coordinated, Enhanced Neonatal Transition (CCENT) model involves a key worker who will be the primary support for families during the first year of their child's life. The key worker's role involves 1) parental coaching using an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach, 2) coordinating care across various levels of care as well as supporting families in system and resource navigation, and 3) provided proactive education targeting normal challenges in caring for a child who required intensive care support. The goal is to improve the psychosocial support and medical care coordination beyond the neonatal intensive care unit as many of the medical and social concerns do not end at the time of discharge. Primary objective is parent stress at 12 months.
