How You Can Help

The NFI Needs Your Help to Support the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program

Clinical research continues to show the life-enhancing benefits of NIDCAP for prematurely born infants and their families. By becoming a Friend of NIDCAP, you will further the NFI's worldwide outreach, education, and certification of health care professionals and newborn intensive care nurseries in this approach to developmental care.

The Founders and Members of the NFI welcome your support in helping us ensure that, one day, all infants and families in intensive and special care nurseries will receive individualized, developmentally supportive, family centered care so that they may enjoy optimal health and developmental outcome.

In the United States alone there are more than 800 newborn intensive care nurseries interested in learning about, promoting and implementing NIDCAP developmental care. Around the world in Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand – as well as parts of Asia, the Middle East, and South America – there are many health professionals and administrative leaders, who are committed to the integration of the NIDCAP approach into their health care system, and who depend on your support.

NIDCAP helps bring about systemic change, not only NICU and hospital change, but also societal and political system change...one infant and one family at a time; one nurse and one doctor at a time; one NICU and one hospital at a time; one city and one country at a time. This is the only way to create the necessary change.

We believe NIDCAP helped to change the course of our son Brandon's life. My hope is that every family whose baby must be in a newborn intensive care unit can access this program–we believe it's vital to the development of every child!!
