Just published: Kids+ Parent Infant Program (PIP): A community model for supporting partnerships in early developmental follow-up and support
Kids+ is excited to share that our first article about the Kids+ Parent Infant Program has been published in Frontiers in Pediatrics and can be freely accessed here.
The Kids+ Parent Infant Program was developed by Sarah Foley and Kelly Reynolds during their time at Kids+. The publication is co-authored by Sarah, Kelly, Kids+ Research Coordinator Dr Anna Urbanowicz, and Dr Margaret Mayston. The Kids+ Parent Infant Program pioneered community-based development supports for families and their infants in Geelong and the Barwon Region, Victoria.
The article outlines the unique elements of the Kids+ Parent Infant Program, which includes a coordinated transition from hospital to home, and holistic support for infants who require developmental support. The article also includes directions for future program development and research.
Acknowledgments
The authors would like to acknowledge all the past and current funders of the Kids+ PIP, whom without, Kids+ would not be able to provide this program. We would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the infants and their families who are integral participants in our program.
