Evidence has shown that attachment between a
primary caregiver and their preterm infant can change
the neurodevelopmental outcomes for the infant later
in life. Attachment can be seen as a living organism
between parent/caregiver and child, and with encouraged
development and growth, the attachment relationship
can have profound effects, even in the context of the most
difficult of circumstances and medical diagnoses. The more
NICU caregivers know how to encourage attachment, the
likelier a family system will need less medical/psychological
intervention after discharge from the hospital.
This training describes the role and function of mirror
neurons, traumatic memory, attachment and posttraumatic
growth in the development and recovery of premature
infants as well as their family systems. In understanding
the neurological significance of very simple and containing
acts, the potential for healing for these families is optimized,
and the sense of helplessness associated with traumatic
experiences minimized.
