Speaker(s):
Presentation: Implement family-centered care in your agency and community today! This workshop will provide an introduction to family-centered care for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders. In a family-centered approach, services are provided to the whole family to make recovery possible; although the mother is the entry point, the family becomes the client. Workshop participants will learn about the family-centered care model through didactics, a documentary on family-centered care, and activities to explore the degree to which their agencies are already family-centered. They will leave the training with tools to help implement family-centered care at their agencies.
Objectives:
- Define family-centered care and explain why it matters
- Evaluate the impact of language, myths, and stigma on care for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders and their families
- Analyze how the principles of family-centered care were applied to a program in California
- Examine application of family-centered care principles in your own work
