This includes the provision of services for pregnant and postpartum women, their minor children, age 17 and under, and other family members of the women and children.
- Community outreach and engagement strategies (e.g., psychoeducation, familiarizing with treatment, outreach phone calls, text messages, and other forms of contact, treatment reminders, connecting with peers, etc.) for underserved populations as defined in Executive Order 13985 to effectively recruit and retain them in treatment. When possible, implement cultural matching of women and providers.
- “Wrap-around”/recovery support services (e.g., childcare, family peer support, peer support for linkage to permanent housing, employment, vocational, 8 educational, and transportation services) designed to improve access and retention in services.
- Collaboration with recovery community organizations (if available) or peer support specialists/providers.
- Services that provide a continuum of care, including outpatient levels of care, and access to residential care as indicated for the needs of the woman and her family.
