title: Social work services in a high-risk nursery.
abstract: Why should a social worker be on the team of a neonatal intensive-care nursery? Helping parents cope with the crises that arise with high-risk births is only one important reason. Ameliorating staff stress is another. Also, by following up the high-risk babies, the social worker has an opportunity to play a preventive role.
