"I truly enjoyed the training, it was easy to understand and the sharing of lived experiences really drove the key takeaway messages home for me. The reality of substance use in pregnancy can be heavy on the heart but Heather did such an amazing job of keeping things positive and motivating. I really really recommend this training to everyone and anyone who works with/interacts with pregnant people and babies who may of been exposed to substances"
