General Discussion

As a graduate NICU parent you bring insight, experience, and the voice of families to NICU teams. Partnering with parents helps NICUs better support and educate current NICU families, achieve quality improvement goals, and deliver family integrated care.

CPBF believes in supporting and promoting NICU parent involvement and advocacy.

The Parent-Partner Network is a place to connect NICU graduate parents working and volunteering within Canadian NICUs.

Parent-Partners help each other by sharing experience, ideas, and information resources about helping current NICU families.

We provide mentorship and support to each other in our roles as graduate parents in an NICU team.

We'd love to get to know you better. Take a moment to say hi to the community in the comments.

We work together to advance NICU quality improvement initiatives and ensure parents’ voices, expertise, and priorities are part of NICU quality improvement work. CPBF has a longstanding partnership with the Canadian Neonatal Network and the Evidence-Based Practice for Improving Quality (EPIQ) national network of NICUs.

As we collaborate to advance the integration of NICU parents as partners in care, peer support, education, and in shaping NICU experiences to bring about the best outcome for babies and their families we want everyone to get the most out of this community, so we ask that you please read and follow these guidelines:

• Respect each other
