Pregnancy, Postpartum, Parenting Engagement Resource Center (PERC)

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve treatment access, engagement in treatment, and recovery outcomes for parents with substance use disorders (SUD) through tailored, parent-centered research and support. By addressing unique barriers faced by parents with SUD—such as fear of child removal, discrimination, and childcare challenges—we aim to foster a compassionate and accessible treatment landscape. Through our Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Parenting Engagement Resource Center (PERC), we are committed to advancing innovative solutions that promote sustainable recovery and well-being for parents nationwide.
