This conference will help increase awareness of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), provide information on how to support systems to help mitigate the impact of NAS on infants and families, and information about naloxone to prevent overdose. Resources to promote care coordination for substance-impacted families and understanding of recovery during pregnancy and postpartum will also be provided.
Free CEUs are available from Mercyhurst University for nursing, LSW/LCSW/LPC/and LMFTs and AMA/CME.
