Tennessee has one of the highest drug overdose rates in the country. Although substance use disorders are treatable, people struggling with substance use problems are often looked down upon and treated poorly when they attempt to seek help. This is especially true for pregnant and parenting women. Pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorders often expect to be blamed (or reported to the authorities) when they seek help, leading them to avoid healthcare altogether. Learning about substance use treatment, and helping support women with substance use disorders in getting connected to treatment can have a positive impact on health outcomes for mothers and children across our state. This film features academic researchers, healthcare professionals, criminal justice professionals, and women with lived experience of substance use problems to highlight the ways in which stigma creates barriers to care, and how we can remove those barriers. Content warning: The content describes upsetting experiences related to substance use and pregnancy that may be disturbing to some viewers.
