THRIVE Together: Pregnancy, Recovery & Peer Support
Summa Health supports pregnant people with patient-centered, prenatal care. We invite you to join the THRIVE Together program – a safe, confidential space for pregnant people impacted by all forms of substance use, including opiate use disorder.
In THRIVE Together, patients come together in small groups to support one another and engage in discussion with their obstetrical care team and behavioral health provider. Each group session is 60 minutes and combines clinical check-ins and education. The facilitated discussions are driven by group members, and cover topics ranging from pregnancy development to nutrition and birth control. Regardless of the person's point in pregnancy, all are welcome, and topics will be refreshed each ten weeks.
Pregnant people impacted by any substance use disorder are welcome. Registration is preferred but not required. Walk-ins are welcome.
Coordination of obstetric appointments with sessions led by a nurse case manager. Behavioral health and MAT (Buprenorphine) are part of the comprehensive care and each session.
Topics include substance use disorders, pregnancy, nutrition, exercise, relaxation, breastfeeding, family planning and more.
Your THRIVE Together support team includes women's health case manager, addiction medicine providers, social workers, counselors and community health workers (CHWs), who provide prenatal, postpartum and wraparound care.
