The nation's prescription drug and the opioid crisis have led to an increase in opioid use disorders among pregnant and parenting women.  Best practices suggest the need for a collaborative response across systems to improve outcomes, reduce risks and adverse consequences for pregnant and parenting women and their infants, and help families remain together safely.

In July 2016, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) was signed into law, including amendments to the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA).  The CAPTA amendments focused on improving well-being and safety for infants affected by prenatal substance exposure and their families or caregivers by: including both legal and illegal substances in the categories of infants to be identified, specifying requirements for notification to child protective services, stipulating the development of a plan of safe care that includes the treatment needs of the family/caregiver in the plan, and increasing the monitoring requirements.

Family Drug Courts (FDCs) are uniquely positioned to implement the changes to CAPTA because of their emphasis on collaborative practice and improving outcomes for families involved in the child welfare system who are affected by substance use disorders.  This Café Conversation will highlight strategies and best practices for serving pregnant and parenting women with opioid use disorders, expanding services within the FDC  to serve the needs of mothers, families and their infants, and developing a family-centered Plan of Safe Care to improve the well-being and safety of infants with prenatal exposure and their families.

Numerous learning opportunities and resources will be provided to attendees to enhance learning.  First, a pre-recorded webinar presentation (30 minute duration) will be released before the live webinar event along with a Team Discussion Guide so FDC practitioners can view and discuss together.

Then, join us on July 31st for a live webinar event which will feature a facilitated discussion between a nationally recognized FDC judge and women's healthcare and addiction medicine expert who will share their experiences and knowledge on best practices in the treatment of opioid use disorders, including medication assisted treatment, and the collaboration needed to ensure the treatment and healthcare needs of both children and parents are met.  Please join us and learn from Honorable John Rowley of the Sixth Judicial District in Tompkins County, New York and Mishka Terplan, MD (@do_less_harm) of Virginia Commonwealth University, School of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia.

A Call to Action Guide will also be provided to ensure attendees take important next steps.  Attendees will use the Collaborative Approach to the Treatment of Pregnant Women with Opioid Use Disorders published by the National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare and SAMHSA as a useful reference.

Learning Objectives:

  1.  Understand best practices in serving parenting and pregnant women with opioid use disorders and their infants
  2.  Identify strategies to expand the family drug court collaborative approach to effectively work with parenting and pregnant women affected by opioid use disorders and their families
  3.  Learn how collaborative teams can develop an approach to implement comprehensive and effective CAPTA Plans of Safe Care
