Our philosophy of care is one of harm reduction. Our aim is to help reduce substance use and risky behaviors that can cause harm to mothers and their babies. We support Mothers and their babies to safely stay together after they leave hospital, and help them to gain confidence with parenting. We offer alcohol and drug counseling, assessment and support as well as a referral service as needed.
