What is a family care plan?
If you are pregnant and using substances, a Family Care Plan (FCP) is a helpful tool that outlines various supports that you have in place to support the health and wellbeing of your baby, yourself, and your family.
An FCP can include services such as medical care, reproductive care, financial and housing assistance, WIC, home visiting, parenting groups, substance use recovery supports, and other resources that you are engaged with or would like to engage with.
In CT, any pregnant individual who is using prescribed/non prescribed substances (including cannabis) during pregnancy should have an FCP completed before birth and available to reference at the hospital after birth. You have the option of creating an FCP on your own or you may choose to work with a trusted support of your choice, such as a family member, a friend, or a community/health professional.
