DESCRIPTION:

Adolescence and young adulthood are fraught with complexities.  When pregnancy, parenting, and substance use concerns are layered on, the combination can be overwhelming for the young person—and for you! This session focuses on understanding risk factors for substance use, leveraging resiliency factors, and using creative engagement strategies to reach and retain pregnant and parenting teens and young adults, as well as their families.

 

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Identify three resiliency factors for pregnant and parenting adolescents and young adults with SUDs.
  • Identify three considerations for addressing the dual needs of parenting teens or young adults with SUDs and the needs of their children.
  • Explain how co-parenting, teen dating violence, and foster care involvement impacts pregnant and parenting adolescents with SUDs.
