Vanessa shares her lived experience as a mom in recovery to help providers connect with moms with substance use disorders. She encourages providers to keep asking questions, to understand that she’s scared, and to know that you can support her journey. Listen to what scares her the most about recovery. Connect her to the resources she needs to begin her recovery journey. This May, as we acknowledge #MaternalMentalHealthMonth, we’re shining a light on the risks and long-term health impacts of #trauma and its correlation with substance use disorder. It’s important for providers to help moms address the underlying effects of trauma while working toward recovery.
