Interventions to promote health and healthy equity for pregnant and early parenting women facing substance use and other challenges
FY 2010-11
Summary
The HerWay Home program (HWHP) is a first-stage intervention that recently emerged in the capital regional district of Victoria, BC to deliver better care to pregnant and early parenting women facing substance use and other challenges. The HWHP currently operates as a virtual network of health and social care professionals and grassroots organizations attempting to provide better continuity of care across the prenatal, birthing, postpartum and early parenting periods and at the same time take action to reduce other determinants of health inequities. The HWHP is in a unique position to gather research at an early stage on which model of collaboration and leadership is most likely to result in uptake of the grassroots initiative and have a longterm impact on reducing health inequities and promoting social justice for some of the most vulnerable members of Canadian society.
