This training prepares Heart Touch volunteers who wish to work in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in one of our partner hospitals how to teach infant massage to NICU parents*.
The training consists of one full day followed by a half-day practicum. During the first day students learn the benefits of massage for infants, a step-by-step protocol for infant massage, contraindications for massaging medically fragile infants, and ways to read a baby’s cues. During the half-day session, students will teach infant massage to new parents and their babies. Participants earn twelve continuing education hours.
Training fee is $75.00.
*All Heart Touch volunteers who wish to work with children are required to take Massage for Medically Fragile Infants and Children.
