VIDEO – LOVE YOUR MOTHER –

Dec. 16, 2022 – Tough as a Mother is a statewide campaign that launched in May 2020, and has been working to decrease the stigma around maternal substance use disorder. In the last two years, the number of resources for mothers seeking addiction recovery has grown across the state. 

“We actually have soon to be seven programs statewide where pregnant and parenting women can go to treatment with their children, and not have to choose between parenting and recovery,” said Kallen Thorton.
