Today Carter is in speech, occupational and feeding therapy because of the challenges that he has due to autism and premature birth. We’re working on better communication, gross motor skills and getting him to eat by mouth. For seven years we’ve watched him grow and thrive in various therapies.

NICU dads carry so much, often silently.

Did you know:
▪️ NICU dads experience depression at nearly 2x the rate of the general father population
▪️ 1 in 5 NICU fathers report significant symptoms of depression
▪️ Up to 1 in 3 report PTSD or trauma-related symptoms following their NICU journey
▪️ NICU fathers remain widely under-screened and under-supported in perinatal mental health care

For Black NICU fathers, these challenges can be compounded by communication barriers, structural inequities, and limited access to culturally responsive care.

You are not expected to carry this alone!

Join us tonight for our NICU Dads Chat, a safe space for fathers to connect, share, and be supported by those who understand the NICU journey.

We remember those check-ins when our son was in the NICU. The visits, the calls, the food deliveries and the prayers are what got us through.

Check in on a NICU parent TODAY! Your support matters ❤️

Did you know that since March 2021, Carter G. Cares has partnered with Franklin Square Medical Center and the March of Dimes for ‘Carter’s Corner’?

When parents are sitting bedside for hours, the last thing they should worry about is spending tons of money on quick hospital meals or parking.

Monthly, we stock the NICU nutritional room with healthy snacks, books, blankets, and parking passes. Thank you to our monthly donors for making this comfort possible! 🥪📦
