Session Description:

  • Tough as a Mother is a public awareness campaign, launched in Colorado in May 2020, working to decrease stigma around maternal SUD, educate providers, and connect pregnant and parenting mothers to treatment and recovery supports in their communities. In this session, we learned how one rural region leveraged this existing public awareness campaign, and get inspired on how to do something similar in your community.
