These studies were conducted as a project accompanying the Health Policy Program called &#8220;Od-\u017byj&#8221;.The project aims to assess the actual needs in the field of perinatal difficulties related to the difficulties diagnosed in babies. To provide parents with reliable knowledge in the studied area and to assess the degree of need for psychological support for parents in the first weeks together. The results of the first part of the research are being developed. We plan to continue the research in the coming years.
