SUMMARY:Perinatal Substance Use ECHO: The Importance of Multidisciplinary Teams in Treating Perinatal and Maternal Opioid Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:The Perinatal Substance Use ECHO program from Hennepin Healthcare provides virtual education and training to providers to best support pregnant and parenting people with substance use during their pregnancy\, birth\, and postpartum. This includes educational sessions\, case reviews\, and discussions of best practice templates and protocols specifically focused on inpatient and outpatient perinatal substance use and substance use disorders. The goal of this ECHO Series is to develop standardized treatment approaches for perinatal substance use care that will allow for statewide standardization of best practices for all birthing patients affected by substance use and substance use disorders. \nSession Presenter: Gretchen Buchanan\, PhD\, LMFT\, LADC | Redleaf Center for Family Healing | Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute \nDr. Gretchen Buchanan is the Senior Researcher at the Redleaf Center for Family Healing\, Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute\, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health\, University of Minnesota. She has extensive clinical and research expertise working with families who struggle with mental health and substance use concerns and intergenerational trauma. She is an implementation scientist whose research focuses on improving the quality of healthcare and access to it for parents and families through integrating mental and physical health\, substance use\, and social support. Making more visible the importance of relational health\, including parent-child and family relationships and the clinician-patient relationship to clinicians\, healthcare workers\, and policymakers requires engagement with everyone involved. She received her Master’s degree from the University of Nevada\, Reno; her PhD from the University of Minnesota Department of Family Social Science in 2021\, followed by a National Institute of Mental Health-funded postdoctoral research fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis focused on implementation science and mental health services research. \nDate: August 12\, 2026 from 12:15 – 1:15 pm CDT \nLocation: Virtual

SUMMARY:Scaling Community-Based Models To Improve Rural Maternal and Infant Care
DESCRIPTION:Building on FUTURES Without Violence’s previous sessions—where they defined the critical challenges in rural maternal health and explored promising ideas for solutions and investment—the Rural Maternal and Infant Health Initiative invites you to its third virtual event. \nThis session will focus on how to scale successful community-based models\, grow the local perinatal workforce\, and deliver impact for families in rural communities. \nWhile every community has unique needs\, meeting families where they are is essential. This includes offering support for trauma\, mental health\, substance use\, and intimate partner violence. To show how these approaches work on the ground\, this event brings in new speakers from different states across the country and Puerto Rico to share how scalable models and tools—like universal education and telehealth—are already actively delivering care\, preventing harm\, and supporting healing. \nParticipants will explore:\n· How doulas\, midwives\, community health workers\, and home visitors build trust and deliver compassionate care.\n· How digital tools and telehealth are connecting families in under-resourced areas with support.\n· What it takes to ensure these models continue to grow.\n· Strategies from different state programs that are making rural perinatal health safer and more accessible through a community-based workforce. \nWho Should Attend: Healthcare providers\, advocates\, and community leaders who want to see how innovative ideas to address maternal health move from initial investment to lasting impact. \nDate & Time: August 12\, 2026\, at 1:00 PM
