Faith-based and community organizations are stepping in to help address the rapidly growing number of infants, children, and teens coming into the child welfare system as a result of the opioid crisis.

From training foster parents to care for the infant born every 15 minutes with NAS symptoms to caring for children suffering from abuse and/or neglect, these public-private partnerships are essential in providing critical care for these unintended victims of the crisis.

Please join the Partnership Center to better understand the latest HHS data related to substance misuse, the opioid epidemic, and the child welfare system.

Hear from inspiring and experienced program leaders who are working to engage, support, and strengthen services for NAS babies, as well as for the foster care system in their communities.
