Community Stigma and Substance Use in Pregnancy

What does stigma look like in maternal mental health, and how can we create more supportive pathways to care?

As part of the Healing-Centered Community Engagement Series, join us for a conversation on Community Stigma and Substance Use in Pregnancy led by Deja Wilson, a second-year Master of Public Health student in Epidemiology at Vanderbilt University. Passionate about advancing maternal and child health through community engagement and data-driven research, Deja is partnering with BMHV to explore how perceived community stigma influences treatment engagement among pregnant and postpartum individuals with substance use disorder.

Together, we'll discuss how stigma impacts pregnant individuals, families, and communities while exploring ways to build more compassionate, informed, and supportive pathways to care.
