There are relatively high rates of complications in the fetal and neonatal periods (1 in 33 fetuses born with birth defects and 1 in 10 preterm births in the US). With advances in maternal-fetal care and growing services and life-extending medical innovations in the neonatal period, more families are presenting to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and often for longer lengths of time. The growing recognition of mental health needs of families and providers in fetal care centers, NICUs, and neonatal follow-up programs has led to a quickly increasing presence of behavioral health providers in these settings. Behavioral Health Services with High-Risk Infants & Families is a practical guide for mental health clinicians working in fetal care, NICU, and neonatal follow-up care. The book provides a broad overview of common medical conditions in fetal and NICU settings (e.g., congenital anomalies, premature birth, hypoxic injury in the perinatal period), prevalence, and symptoms of behavioral health challenges, specific considerations for assessment and intervention, and cross-cutting issues to assist the clinician with optimizing behavioral health care integration with mothers, partners, babies, and families. Additionally, information about the provision of psychosocial support and education to staff is also included. The text represents a comprehensive, practical resource for behavioral health clinicians working with pregnant women, partners, infants, families, and providers in perinatal and neonatal intensive care settings. The book features de-identified case examples, trauma-informed care prompts/scripts, specific questions for assessment and intakes, key medical terms, resource guides, and reference lists.

Reviews for Behavioral Health Services with High-Risk Infants and Families: Meeting the Needs of Patients, Families, and Providers in Fetal, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Neonatal Follow-Up Settings
Behavioral Health Services with High-Risk Infants and Families offers clinicians numerous detailed and varied chapters that provide direction and insight on providing behavioral health care for infants and their families across numerous settings serving high-risk infants. This book is particularly beneficial and useful and has substantially informed my practice via chapters grounded with up-to-date research and illustrated with over 100 detailed case studies connecting research to practice. This book will surely be on my shelf for the duration of my career as it provides the reader with insights for integrating into the role of behavioral health clinician for high-risk infants and families, as well as, training and teaching new clinicians to enter the field. * Melissa Maye, PhD, Center for Health Policy and Health Services Research, Henry Ford Health System * This text provides a comprehensive review of the importance of addressing perinatal and infant mental health. The chapters offer a historical perspective, reinforce the argument for thinking about the entire family unit when taking care of the high risk infant (starting prenatally, well through post-partum and post NICU care). With each chapter carefully outlining approach and theories to management of PMADs, as a reader, it makes it easier to take an overwhelming topic such as this (often under-resourced in healthcare settings) and start to make headway in the different settings (e.g. fetal, NICU, post-discharge, etc.). The combination of authors across the disciplines of healthcare only enhance the perspectives and takeaways for each setting. * Dr. Dmitry Dukhovny, MD, MPH, Oregon Health and Science University *
