Pregnant and Parenting Women's Services

Chemical dependency can be an even heavier burden for someone about to give birth, or with a newborn or young child. These women require special assistance not only for themselves, but for the child they carry and will be responsible for. Their needs are unique, and their challenges many.

BCCS offers the following services as an extension to Medically Assisted Treatment:

• Full case management, including needs assessment, links to community support organizations, progress monitoring, crisis intervention, and rights advocacy.

• Help in finding pre-natal and post-natal care, housing, child care, medical care, and transportation.

• Referrals for behavioral health treatment, prevention, psychiatric counseling, nutritional assessment, parenting guidance, and domestic abuse issues.

• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome prevention and education.

• Division of Family Services liaisons provide support and case management to prevent or reduce the duration of out-of-home placements.

For more information on services for women, please contact Domenica Personti at 656-2348.
