Parent Toolkit

The Parents’ Toolkit is a free online resource available for parents – biological, adoptive, foster, in whatever shape or form their family exists – who are raising children affected by prenatal exposure to substances of abuse and for professionals who provide services to pregnant and parenting women and their children. The common thread for all of the families is that they are dealing with the consequences of alcohol or drug use during pregnancy.
