Pregnancy & Recovery
In partnership with the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS), we are addressing challenges and opportunities faced by women in recovery while pregnant.
JOURNEY Recovery Project
The JOURNEY Recovery Project is an interactive, online resource for pregnant and parenting women who have questions or concerns about opioid and other substance use. Journey focuses on stories of women with lived experience—offering information, hope, encouragement, and resources for every step of the perinatal journey. With videos, informational slideshows, resources, and worksheets, Journey seeks to empower and inform women about opioid and other substance use and pregnancy. We developed Journey in partnership with the Institute for Health and Recovery and Massachusetts Department of Public Health Bureau of Substance Addiction Services.
