• Share information on “best practices” and resources, to support women with substance use concerns, before, during, and after pregnancy:
• Participants will learn how to begin the discussion with women about alcohol, tobacco and other substances in pregnancy using collaborative motivational approaches and identify teaching strategies which participants can use, when training others on this material.
