Hispanic and African American women generally have lower mental health and substance use treatment utilization; in addition, pregnant Hispanic and Black women who enter SUD treatment report higher rates of unmet mental health support than their white counterparts. Racism and discrimination within healthcare systems remain a persistent barrier to accessing treatment among minoritized women with SUD. With the gaps in comprehensive treatment within these populations, providers should find more targeted approaches that include culturally appropriate screening and treatment to reduce the care disparity and access to treatment. In this webinar, the panelist will discuss challenges around providing care to pregnant individuals with co-occurring SUDs and mental illness and review evidence-based harm reduction strategies and best practices for treating pregnant and nursing parents.
