24.01.2022 ***IMPORTANT update regarding our NurtureGroups*** The health and safety of our miracle babies and their families is our priority and to continue to deliver ou...r vision during this health risk in the safest ways possible. With great disappointment, Miracle Babies have made the decision to suspend all NurtureGroups Australia wide for the next fortnight with a view of reassessing circumstances each fortnight. Families needing support over this time, please register on the link below to our NurtureTime Online sessions and connect with other families across Australia. We will however continue to offer support for miracle families in the following ways: NurtureLine 1300 622 243 (1300 MBABIES) will remain available and accessible 24 hours 7 days a week. In light of most Neonatal Intensive Care Units being closed to only parental visitors, we will be offering several weekly NurtureTime Online sessions. Our NurtureProgram teams will be conducting these live sessions for all families nationally to connect and be supported during these difficult times. If you are a NICU or SCN family and wish to register, please do so here: https://miraclebabies.org.au//register-for-nurturetime-on/ Continue to wash hands (with water, soap and for 20 seconds), avoid large gatherings, self-isolate as much as possible and follow the guidelines of your local state health departments.Stay safe, take care and reach out if you need. #miraclebabies #prematurebabies #sicknewborns #NICU #SCN #selfisolate #washhands #NurtureGroup #NurtureTime #NurtureLine
