Our mission is to inform and guide parents of preemies so that they may confidently navigate the journey of prematurity.
Preemie Parent Support
Preemie/NICU Parent Mentors
Every prematurity journey is unique, and you are not alone.
Our mentors are more than just supporters – they're preemie parents who understand exactly what you're going through. Trained through Parent to Parent USA's evidence-based program, they're here to offer both emotional guidance and practical advocacy skills during this overwhelming time. Let us match you with someone who can walk beside you on your NICU journey.
How it Works
