Integrated Care in the Perinatal Period: A Peer-driven Recovery Support Model

Pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders (SUDs) often face stigma, fragmented care, and limited access to coordinated support. Moms Do Care, an initiative of the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, offers a trauma-informed, integrated care model that connects women to medical, behavioral health and social services. Central to the program are peer support specialists — women with lived experience who build trust and help participants navigate complex systems of care.

Join the Center of Excellence For Integrated Health Solutions (CoE-IHS) on Thursday, July 10, 3-4 p.m. ET for Integrated Care in the Perinatal Period: A Peer-driven Recovery Support Model. You’ll learn how the Moms Do Care model improves maternal engagement, birth outcomes and family stability while addressing persistent workforce challenges that impact the sustainability of integrated care efforts.

This session is ideal for those working in maternal health, behavioral health, addiction services, peer workforce development and integrated care settings, especially professionals looking for actionable models to support pregnant and postpartum women with complex needs.
