Talking with Families About Substance Use During Pregnancy

Thursday, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm

Expectant parents who struggle with substance use may not ask for help for various reasons. Judgment-free conversations about substance use can help expectant parents get the support they need to have a healthy pregnancy.

Join the Office of Head Start and its National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety for this webinar, and learn how to have compassionate and helpful conversations about substance use and recovery that lead to greater health equity.

This webinar is offered with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish.
