The Stein Tikun Olam Infant-Family Mental Health Initiative at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has been established with a $1 million gift from philanthropists Gene P. and Mindy Stein, through the Tikun Olam Foundation.
Funds will be used to support families struggling to bond with their newborn during an extended hospitalization for their child just after birth. Building on existing programmatic success, the money will permit the hospital to provide a bridge of support for parents as their babies transition home from the Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit (NICCU) and into follow-up care in the High Risk Infant Follow-up clinic (HRIF), each of which treat large numbers of infants.
