Abstract

This capstone, which took place at University Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, focused on enhancing maternal well-being and the maternal/infant dyad. This was promoted and advocated for through telehealth sessions for perinatal individuals and by increasing the awareness and practice of impactful co-occupations within the hospital’s NICU.
