Description:

Substance Use Disorder is a chronic medical condition that affects 1 in 6 Americans. Unlike other common health conditions, like asthma or heart disease, stigma around substance use is very high. When people who use substances become pregnant, they face the highest levels of stigma and judgment when they seek help.

Join us as experts from The Partnering for the Future (PFF) Clinic at University of Michigan Health Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital and the U-M Department of Psychiatry discuss best practices—centering empathy and the very best research—for caring for birthing people with substance use disorders. Our experts will also share practical advice for those of us in the community who wish to support loved ones who are experiencing addiction during their pregnancy.
