# data[].attributes.body
Define team roles. Encourage interprofessional team, include OB and community partners when clients come through clinics/ED.

Provide and state they are in a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental space.

Treat client as a human, with a "firm, fair, consistent" approach to addiction crises.

Clinic refer client to ED, medical clearance - lab work, vitals, treat detox, inpatient/observation until discharged to safe environment, such as, Montana Chemical Dependency Center (MCDC) - set up Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) Program and other mental health resources needed. Pregnancy may speed up the triage for being admitted to MCDC.

Ask questions, such as, "what would help you the most, right now?", then provide expressed needs, such as food/hydration, rest; offer for family to seek reset in family waiting area.

Ask client if they feel safe in their living environment, determine needs for Substance Use Disorder (SUD), all forms of abuse, and focus on resources to set client up for success post discharge.

Use evidence-based mental health screening tools, such as DAST, PQC-9, other to ensure client isn't suicidal/homicidal.

Social work would help to ensure Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, counseling services, drug rehab, a Rx for Narcan, etc. are in place for a person experiencing SUD.

Remote areas can seek assistance for transportation/gas/food/housing vouchers from churches, Amish transportation, county resources...

SANE RN's have resources for providing safety to clients/families.

Educate clients/families related to risks of withdrawal to mother and baby, including miscarriage, pre-term labor, and death. Educate about risk-benefit-analysis of using MOUD and having a post-partum detox plan for the neonate vs. continuing to use other drugs - improved outcomes for infants on a closely monitored MOUD treatment plan.

Most pregnant patients will benefit from opioid treatment programs that offer all of the following at a single site:

•MOUD

•Psychiatry and social worker services

•Individual and group counseling

•Case management

•Prenatal care, including health and parenting counseling

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the simulation exercise the clinician will be able to:

Increase awareness of community “points of first contact” for pregnant women with mental health, substance use and social risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Identify communication styles that may lead to stigma and non-adherence for treatment and referral.

Exhibit empathetic communication skills, maintain a non-judgmental approach and foster trust.

Conduct effective Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT).

Initiate MOUD treatment with Suboxone.

Identify the local network for emergency/urgent counseling services.

Identify the local network for emergency/urgent social services.

Locate and utilize screening tools for depression, anxiety, substance abuse and domestic violence.

Be familiar with effective strategies for follow-up, including specific providers and resources that can be contacted immediately.

Identify someone from the organization to do follow-up.

Review existing maternal care assets and identify gaps in services and referral networks that may occur.

Review agency/facility role in handoff and communication continuum.

Explore the potential for dual diagnosis(substance abuse and mental health crisis) and determine inter and intra agency resources needed by the patient.

Perform appropriate medical care for a patient experiencing perinatal and postpartum substance abuse disorder and a potential mental health crisis.

Identify local challenges that may prevent this patient from accessing necessary mental health and substance abuse services.

Perinatal Addiction Treatment Resources · Identifying Substance Use and Co-Occuring Mental Health Conditions in Your Patients

If you are a provider for expectant or new moms, the Empaths program can help you evaluate your patients for potential substance use and co-occuring mental health concerns that may impact the health and wellness of both mother and baby. Empaths is a pilot program being implemented and evaluated by the Billings Clinic MOMS Demonstration Project and the University of Montana's Rural Institute in partnership with Rimrock Foundation, Montana's largest behavioral health treatment provider.

What Is Empaths?

Empaths is a healthcare system-level treatment model in which universal screening for substance use in pregnancy is implemented in the OB/GYN and primary care settings. Patients that screen positive for substance use concerns are referred to a centralized care manager at Billings Clinic who conducts Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) sessions via live and telehealth appointments. All patients referred to the Empaths Care Manager receive referrals to peer and community support programming; patients needing more intensive treatment services are referred to Rimrock Foundation and other community behavioral health programs. Telehealth services are available for patients living in remote areas and/or those with transportation issues so moms can receive care in their home communities as they begin their recovery journeys. Partnering behavioral health programs have committed to working in tandem with obstetric provider teams to ensure coordinated care for patients and to build networks of perinatal behavioral health support across Montana.

How Can I Identify Patients Who May Need Help?

The first step is to enroll in the MOMS Empaths program to take advantage of screening tools and referral resources to help your patients. Once you have enrolled, the Empaths Care Manager will follow up with you to provide information and support.

MOMS has developed a 5Ps Screening Tool to evaluate your patients' potential need for intervention and assistance in addressing substance use and co-occuring mental health concerns. This short questionnaire can easily be completed with the patient during any visit. Any "Yes" answers your patient gives provides the opening for a conversation regarding the unique issues they are facing.

Our incredible opportunity to help more young families.

Mountain Home Montana provides a safe home and nurturing community where young mothers can discover their strengths and their children can thrive.

Mountain Home is one of only three organizations in Montana providing a long-term residential housing program and a full suite of wraparound services for young mothers and their children facing homelessness. In our 24 years in operation, we have served over 2000 women and children.

Mountain Home's regular waiting list of over 40 women underscores the urgent need for our care. Last June, we made a significant step forward by purchasing Hillside Manor, a former nursing home on a 5-acre campus in the South Hills. This property will triple the number of women and children we can accommodate and expand programs and services for hundreds of community members and organizational partners.

We need the support of our community to turn this former healthcare facility into a home.

Join us in May and June for a fun series of public events, food and drink specials and other celebrations - and help us open another door for a brighter future! Click here for a calendar of our events.

​ ​High levels of compassion fatigue can be managed with a number of authentic, sustainable strategies. This site has numerous resources we have found for caregivers working in many professions. The Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project also offers original training materials, workbooks, and texts.
Compassion fatigue is a broadly defined concept that can include emotional, physical, and spiritual distress in those providing care to another. It is associated with caregiving where people or animals are experiencing significant emotional or physical pain and suffering.
Studies confirm that caregivers play host to high levels of compassion fatigue. Day in, day out, workers struggle to function in caregiving environments that constantly present heart-wrenching, emotional challenges. Affecting positive change in society, a mission so vital to those passionate about the value of caring for others, is perceived as elusive, if not impossible. This painful reality, coupled with first-hand knowledge of the flagrant disregard for the safety and wellbeing of the feeble and frail, takes its toll on everyone from full time employees to part time volunteers. Eventually, distrust and negative attitudes prevail.

Compassion fatigue symptoms are elevated displays of chronic stress resulting from the caregiving work we choose to do. Leading traumatologist J. Eric Gentry suggests that people who are attracted to caregiving often enter the field already displaying symptoms of compassion fatigue. A strong identification with helpless, suffering or traumatized people or animals is possibly the motive. It is common for us to hail from a tradition of what is labeled "other-directedness." Simply put, we were taught to care for the needs of those around us before caring for our own needs. Authentic, sustainable daily self-care practices have been absent from our lives.
​
If we sense we are suffering from elevated levels of compassion fatigue, chances are excellent that we are. Our path to wellness begins with one small step. Awareness. A heightened awareness can lead to insights regarding past traumas and painful situations that are being relived over and over within the confines of our symptoms and behaviors. With the appropriate information and support, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing past traumas that currently serve as obstacles to a healthy, happier life.
​
Many resources are now available to help us recognize the symptoms and causes of compassion fatigue. Healing begins by employing such practices as regular exercise, healthy eating habits, highly functional relationships, enjoyable social activities, journaling and restful sleep. Hopefully, the information on this website will be of use to you and help you jump-start your healing journey.

Accepting the presence of compassion fatigue in our lives only serves to validate the fact that we are deeply caring individuals. Somewhere along our healing path, the truth will present itself: We don't have to make a choice. It is possible to practice healthy, ongoing self-care while successfully caring for others.
