Hopeful Hearts
Hopeful Hearts is a safe and judgment free program that provides free classes and support for pregnant women and new mothers suffering from drug addiction.
The program allows early access to providers that will follow patients throughout their pregnancy and delivery. Hopeful Hearts classes provide the pregnant mother with information regarding her pre-and post-natal care, signs and symptoms of neonatal drug withdrawal, treatment, and management of NAS (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome) and expected length of stay in the hospital. Breastfeeding and strategies to help calm and soothe the infant are also discussed. During the Hopeful Hearts class, education materials, food and personal gift items are provided.
