Increasing Family Engagement for Pregnant and Postpartum Women in Residential Treatment
Increasing Family Engagement for Pregnant and Postpartum Women in Residential Treatment
Overview
Helping pregnant and post-partum women by increasing the involvement of family members in their recovery.
Recognizing that women in treatment benefit from relationship-based programs, treatment agencies need effective ways to engage family members or significant others in a meaningful way in their programs.
During this project, treatment provider agencies developed, tested, and promoted promising practices for increasing engagement of family members (particularly fathers, father-figures, and children who do not live in the program) in support of recovery for pregnant or post-partum women (PPW) in substance abuse treatment.
Project Aims
- To increase the percentage of women with family members involved in their recovery
- To increase the quantity and quality of that involvement overall
In two distinct phases from January 2009 through June 2011, 24 grantee agencies of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse’s (CSAT) Women, Children, and Family Treatment (WCFT) program applied NIATx process improvement methods to increase family engagement in treatment for pregnant and parenting women in recovery.
