Mass General Brigham•Boston, MA

2d•$42 - $106•Onsite

About The Position

The HOPE Clinic (Harnessing support for Opioid and substance use disorders in Pregnancy and Early childhood) provides coordinated care for pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorder and their families. Our goal is to maximize our patients’ ability to successfully navigate pregnancy, early parenting and substance use recovery. We welcome pregnant women, their partners, and their infants at any time during their pregnancy or in the year following the birth of their child. We continue to support families through the postpartum period and through the first two years following the birth of their child. The HOPE Clinic is a collaborative program of the Departments of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Psychiatry and Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Mass General for Children. Our goal is to give patients and their families extra support through this special period in their lives. We know that each person's path is different, so we tailor our medical and social services to meet each individual where they are in their substance use and recovery. Patients are seen at our outpatient clinic at Mass General. The HOPE Clinic includes clinicians from a variety of fields who work together to care for patients. The clinic provides complete care for pregnant women and their families during this exciting and challenging time. Through these services, we help pregnant women and new parents maximize their ability to navigate pregnancy, early parenting and substance use recovery with success. After delivery, we welcome patients and their newborns back to the HOPE Clinic. We continue to provide care for the family for the next two years. During this period, we provide services for mother (whether or not they are parenting) and baby as well help partner access supports. We also work with patients during their time with us at the HOPE Clinic to create a “portfolio of recovery.” The goal of the portfolio of recovery is to highlight the recovery work done by the parent during pregnancy. It outlines the patient’s treatment goals and identifies the patient’s strengths, support system and plan for the safety of them and their family. The portfolio can then be presented with the help of the inpatient social work team to social services agencies, including the Department of Children and Families (DCF). This portfolio serves as a ‘Plan of Safe Care’ which is required for all infants affected by substance use or withdrawal. We are looking for a long term per diem registered nurse to join our team!
