Women and Family REACH Program

Designed to provide outreach, engagement, case management, recovery coaching, connections to community, and recovery support resources to women with substance use or co-occurring disorders, in particular those who are pregnant and/or parenting. The Recovery Navigator will support women and their health care providers in the development of a Family Care Plan. Women’s REACH was expanded in 2021 to include a Family Recovery Navigator who provides support to LGBTQ+ parents, single fathers, and primary caregiving family members as they enter into and sustain recovery from substance use or co-occurring disorders.
