When a baby's been exposed in utero to substances, you know their DCF is going to be contacted, and so it's really wondering with the parents about what they can do to support their situation and work in collaboration with DCF.
When it comes to caring for newborns exposed to substances, Beth Marron, M.Ed, LICSW, brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to the table. In this episode of 'BSAS Radio', Beth, a Parent Child Specialist from the Institute for Health and Recovery, dives deep into the complexities of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and the non-pharmacological treatments that can ease the journey for these vulnerable infants.
She shares practical strategies that go beyond medical interventions, emphasizing the power of observing and responding to a baby's cues alongside their parents. This approach not only helps the baby but also strengthens the bond between parent and child during a challenging time. Beth also opens up about the critical role of collaboration with the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
She provides insights on how to build trust with parents who may have had difficult experiences with DCF in the past. Her empathetic perspective sheds light on creating a supportive environment where both parents and newborns can thrive. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a parent, or someone interested in the nuances of substance exposure in newborns, this episode offers valuable takeaways.
Tune in to hear Beth's expert advice and heartfelt stories that underline the importance of patience, understanding, and teamwork in supporting these families.
