There is probably nothing more terrifying for a new parent than to have your child sent to another facility, especially if they aren’t able to accompany the child. Emotional and logistical support you have suggested providing will help ease their burden. The support kit looks to be especially helpful in guiding parents through the process. Good luck with your project.
Sorry – forgot to add my reference for the above:

Hopefully your project works to assuage the “wavering and wandering” often found on the part of parents during this process. Good luck with your project.

I enjoyed your presentation. I really like your idea of the parent support kit. Since most of these families are not familiar with the area they are headed to. Having the map, helpful questions, what to expect, and where to stay and eat. The parents are not able to process all of what is going on and try to find things for themselves when they get to that city. It might be helpful to include contact phone numbers for the receiving facility and possibly the charge nurse number so they can call on their way and not have to go through several people to get to the charge nurse. I am not sure if you listed that on your slide. Great topic!
