Why Attend?

This forum marks a significant collaboration between the Perinatal Addiction Prevention staff, providers and professionals in Central New Jersey in the effort to manage perinatal substance use effectively. Your participation can make a difference in this crucial initiative, helping to enhance the care and support available to pregnant individuals facing substance use challenges such as alcohol use, tobacco use, prescription or over the counter drug use, illicit drug use, or marijuana use while pregnant. This forum is an opportunity to ask questions about the Perinatal Risk Assessment (PRA) tool, how to utilize it, and how to navigate the outcomes. This forum will also explore other factors that could support substance abuse such as depression, mood and anxiety disorders, and domestic violence.

What is PAPP?

The Perinatal Addiction Prevention Program (PAPP) is dedicated to supporting pregnant individuals who are managing substance use concerns and the professionals who treat and support them. By focusing on the 4Ps Plus—the only validated behavioral health screening instrument designed specifically for pregnant women at risk for domestic violence, alcohol, tobacco, prescription or illicit drug use, and depression—we ensure comprehensive access to resources addressing all biopsychosocial needs and challenges of treating addiction in pregnancy. PAPP is funded by the Department of Health and operates through three consortia across Northern, Central, and Southern New Jersey.
