Resilient Families Feasibility Trial
Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Summary
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a dyadic, resiliency intervention ("Resilient Families;" R-FAM) that aims to reduce emotional distress and improve relationships among parents in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). To achieve this goal, the investigators are developing a randomized control trial where patients will be randomized to either the R-FAM condition or a minimally enhanced usual control (MEUC), which includes resources on parent mental health and coping in the NICU.

Resilient Families (R-FAM)
R-FAM is a resiliency intervention for couples with an infant admitted to the NICU. Parents will complete 6 guided sessions with a clinical psychologist that cover topics such as managing stress, staying in the present, and coping with uncertainty. Through these sessions, parents will learn skills to manage the "emotional roller-coaster" of the NICU, cope with stress, and connect with each other.
Educational Resources & Program
Parents will receive educational resources on how to cope with and adjust to the NICU stay.
