Welcome to the Paradigm of Kindness Learning Center!

Paradigm of Kindness (PoK) is an evidence-based framework designed to help clinical teams implement the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) approach, delivering patient- and family- centered care for infants and families affected by Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).

PoK was built on five pillars:

1) Always Lead with Kindness

2) Empower Mom as Medicine

3) Treat the Baby Like a Baby

4) Create a Home-like Space

5) Approach Medications Mindfully

Paradigm of Kindness makes kindness visible in every interaction.
