38. "Rooming in" and speaking out: The essentials of perinatal substance use care

In this episode, host Sandra speaks to Dr. Eric Cattoni, a family physician and Medical Director at the Families In Recovery (FIR) Unit at BC Women’s Hospital. They discuss what’s unique about providing substance use care to people who are pregnant and postpartum and their families, as well as the elements of perinatal substance use care, like compassion and a trauma‑informed approach, that are relevant to any area of medicine — especially in the context of the toxic drug crisis.
