Resources for pregnant and postpartum people with a history of substance use
When I made my appointment I said, I'm pregnant, I'm an addict, can you take me? It was actually a big relief.

Early Connections Cellphone Program
We know transportation is a challenge for many. Using a phone or video conferencing can make getting your prenatal care easier.
If you do not have a cellphone, we can help with free smartphones and free data cards. With a smartphone, you can take advantage of telehealth options for your care. Using telehealth, you can stay connected to your health care team and other resources.
Call our helpline at 603-650-2602 to speak to a community health worker about the cellphone program.
