Supporting Postpartum Individuals with SUDs

Supporting Postpartum Individuals with Substance Use Disorders: Needs, Barriers, and Actionable Recovery Strategies

The postpartum period is a transformative but often precarious time for individuals with SUD. Despite being a critical window for recovery and overdose prevention, supports are frequently insufficient, fragmented, or shaped by stigma. This training is important because it centers evidence drawn directly from individuals with lived experience with SUD reflecting on their experiences during the postpartum period. Their perspectives emphasize the realities of anxiety, social isolation, economic stress, and stigma across healthcare and social service systems.

Participants will gain an applied understanding of postpartum recovery needs, common stigma-related and structural barriers, and participant-identified priorities for improving supports. The webinar emphasizes translating lived-experience findings into actionable strategies for prevention, intervention design, and service delivery that are more responsive, recovery-oriented, and family-centered.
