PARENTS & CAREGIVERS
Where every child
achieves their
optimal health
This is the world we envision. And we’re making it happen by centering parents, caregivers, and families in projects that address gaps in care, health disparities experienced by minoritized communities, and opportunities to increase family engagement.
NICHQ and PARENTS & CAREGIVERS
Championing improved care for mothers and birthing people and their families
Caring for a child is one of the most rewarding and simultaneously challenging experiences – parents and caregivers all want their child to grow to be healthy and happy. It can be challenging to find trustworthy information and resources.
At the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality, we have supported community-based organizations, hospital systems, and health departments to improve care across the maternal and child health discipline through an equity lens.
Our dedicated staff – with degrees in clinical medicine, epidemiology, and public health – understand that to improve the quality of care and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity, there are no quick fixes. It takes dedicated, consistent effort at many different levels to produce lasting results.
Because we are deeply committed to our mission, we offer a variety of open access resources, in the form of awareness campaigns, podcasts, webinars, and more. This page is curated for parents and caregivers who are interested in up-to-date resources about maternal and child health topics, from maternal mental health to supporting fathers. Use these resources in your life and share with friends and family to facilitate conversations in your community.
