Additional Information
For our upcoming meeting on November 2nd, we will have a webinar featuring Lisa Cleveland, PhD, APRN, CPNP, IBCLC, FAAN. She will be presenting on Compassionate Care of Opioid Impacted Mother-Infant Dyads. Current members will receive an email with instructions to access the online meeting.
By the end of the webinar, the participant will be able to:
- Describe national trends in opioid use disorders in pregnant and parenting women.
- Explain therapeutic care of pregnant and parenting women with opioid use disorders and infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
- Identify current breastfeeding recommendations for women receiving medication assisted treatment for an opioid use disorder.
- Discuss innovative and wholistic approaches to recovery support services for this population of women and infants.
Dr. Lisa Cleveland is a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and a tenured Associate Professor at UT Health San Antonio, School of Nursing. Her innovative research with mother-infant dyads impacted by opioid use has contributed to changes in clinical practice and improved outcomes. Her recovery residence, Casa Mia, is a collaborative partnership between the School of Nursing and the nonprofit, Crosspoint, Inc. Casa Mia provides safe and supportive housing for pregnant and parenting women with opioid use disorder where they can recover with their children.
In addition, the findings of Dr. Cleveland’s Maternal Opioid Morbidity Study are providing insight into the contextual factors surrounding maternal opioid use relapse and overdose deaths; the leading cause of maternal mortality in TX and a growing cause nationwide. Dr. Cleveland is now developing and psychometrically analyzing a brief screening instrument to help identify women at-risk for overdose death so they may be referred to life-saving resources. Further, Dr. Cleveland is leading the Texas Targeted Opioid Response to ensure access to Narcan, and opioid overdose identification and reversal education: moreNARCANplease.com. She is also leading a statewide community paramedicine program (TTOR Bexar County) to prevent overdose, increase the use of peer recovery services, and improve access to treatment.
