The Safety PIN (Protecting Indiana’s Newborns) Program made possible
in partnership and funding with the Indiana Department of Health. The
purpose of this funding is to reduce infant mortality in our region, and
we have launched various new supports to pregnant women and those with
infants under the age of one in our community.
Perinatal Peer Recovery Services: Peer-based recovery support for pregnant
women and new mothers with substance use or those trying to maintain recovery
from a mother who is in recovery.
Perinatal Navigator Services: Provides education, support, and addresses
barriers to the patient such as finances, transportation, housing, childcare,
insurance, etc. as identified through the navigation process.
Maternal and Child Health Coalition: In partnership with Indiana University's
Center for Collaborative System Change, our Safety PIN team has convened
a Maternal and Child Health Coalition. By utilizing Strategic Doing the
group generates purposeful collaboration by identifying and converting
new opportunities into action for change. This Coalition increases and
diversifies how our community collaborates, which is essential to harnessing
our limited resources and deploying innovative strategies to address the
challenges related to the health of community mothers and their infants.
