Dr. Christine Wilder from UC Health provided insight this morning regarding addiction as a chronic illness. Dr. Wilder provided crucial tools when working with mothers with substance use disorder (SUD). This includes person-first language, educating yourself concerning addiction, remaining non-judgmental and avoiding the stigmatization of substance use. Most notably, she included seeking Peer Support for mothers as this resource can often be invaluable.
