The aims of this handbook are to support the creation, development, ongoing operation, and sustainability of wraparound programs for pregnant and/or early parenting women and gender diverse people with substance use and other concerns.
This resource was developed with multiple audiences in mind, including program planners, managers and staff, service partners from a variety of health and social sectors, funders, researchers, community members, and families affected by perinatal substance use.
This Digital Handbook was produced as part of the second phase of the Co-Creating Evidence (CCE) project. The Co-Creating Evidence project was a first-of-its-kind-in-Canada national evaluation involving eight different multi-service, wraparound programs serving women at high risk of having an infant with prenatal exposure to alcohol or other substances. This Handbook was completed in November 2022.
