The early days of parenting come with a multitude of physical and emotional demands and often includes significant life adjustments that come with caring for an infant.

For caregivers who are in the early stages of recovery (from substance misuse, mental health disorders, or other challenges), early parenting may be even more complex.

Join us as we discuss the opportunities and challenges that may arise, best practices for working with families during this phase of parenting/recovery, how to initiate and continue MAT, and more. Register here: Webinar Registration - Zoom

More than 60 million adults in the U.S. report living with a disability. Adults with disabilities often have higher rates of chronic illnesses compared to the general population, and they also report more barriers to healthcare due to factors such as cost and access. (Source: CDC).

Addiction to substances such as alcohol and other prescription and non-legal drugs is a public health crisis that impacts our local families and communities. Too often youth and adults with disabilities may “self-medicate” with substances to help them cope with physical and emotional pain, social isolation, and financial stress.
