Start with Hope: Supporting Mothers with SUDs Panel

Pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders (SUDs) face many barriers to receiving care. For example, pregnant women with SUDs frequently delay or refrain from prenatal care and treatment because of negative experiences and perceived judgement.

In this panel, hosted by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, speakers will discuss their experiences within the systems of care for pregnant and postpartum women with SUDs. Join to learn how providers address these challenges, strengthen care coordination and share solutions rooted in hope of improving the quality of treatment and recovery.

Learning Objectives:

1. Raise awareness of pregnant and postpartum women with SUDs.
2. Identify best practices to address unique challenges faced by pregnant and postpartum women.
3. Discuss hope-focused community solutions for treatment and recovery.
