Ben and Daphna speak with Dr. Melissa House, Chavis Patterson, and Kathleen Stanton about creating a “psychologically-minded” NICU, where mental health support is essential for families, staff, and patients alike. They discuss the upcoming CHNC workshop, "Combating Distress, Dissatisfaction, and Discord," which introduces trauma-informed care, caregiver support, and the impact of chronic stress on NICU staff and families. Listen in as they share insights on fostering empathy, self-awareness, and a supportive NICU culture, helping caregivers bring their best selves to the bedside.
