Perinatal Substance Use Collaborative Webinar Series

Description

Substance use disorders in pregnancy are a major national public health concern. The rates of opioid use disorders (OUDs) are rising significantly and disproportionately in rural, southern women. Major medical associations recommend comprehensive substance use treatment for pregnant women with Perinatal Substance Use Disorders (PSUDs), including integrated delivery of obstetrical care, substance use care, medication treatment, behavioral health services, and coordinated care with linkages to community services.

Join us for this "lunch and learn" interprofessional collaborative series led by WNC professionals where we address the ever growing need for dissemination of evidence-based perinatal substance use comprehensive care and engage in vital discussions around increasing inter-agency collaboration and maximizing patient access.

MAHEC engages in evaluation activities to better understand the impact of our programs. By registering for this course, you agree that we may use your personal information in evaluative research regarding this program. Any reports published will be de-identified and reported in aggregate format.
