Perinatal Risk Reduction

The Risk Reduction Initiative, through a grant from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, provides risk reduction services to women of childbearing age.

One component of the Initiative is the Perinatal Addiction Prevention Project. This project focuses on identifying women who might be in need of substance abuse treatment services during their pregnancy. The Initiative also provides professional and community education about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Alcohol Related Spectrum Disorder (ARSD), perinatal addictions and substance abuse prevention.
