Summary

Perinatal substance use is much more common than many of us realize, even amongst clients or patients you already treat. Substance misuse is a common coping strategy for people who are struggling with mental health conditions. Nationwide, suicide and accidental overdose are leading causes of maternal mortality. Women and those with the capacity for pregnancy are most at risk for developing a substance use disorder during their reproductive years, but many maternal/child health professionals feel uncomfortable and ill-equipped in knowing how to support a pregnant or parenting client who is struggling with substance use.

This training aims to begin bridging the knowledge gap by bolstering provider knowledge base. Together, we can ensure that every maternal health and allied health professional across the United States is equipped with the data, knowledge, and skill set to recognize and effectively respond to substance use concerns during pregnancy, early parenthood, and with the birthing parent/child dyad.

This training is a 7.25-hour advanced training and meets the requirements for the advanced prerequisite for the PMH-C exam application.
