The Institute for Health and Recovery (IHR) is a statewide service, research, policy, program development and capacity building agency. IHR designs its services based on an understanding of the impact of trauma. IHR’s CARF accredited treatment programs provide holistic interventions for hard to reach and high-risk individuals and families. IHR’s mission, since our founding in 1990, has been to develop and support a comprehensive continuum of care for families, individuals, youth, and pregnant and parenting people affected by alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, violence/trauma, mental health challenges and other health issues, while advancing principles of health equity and social justice. Our work is focused on addressing and eradicating inequities in our health care, economic, and justice systems, especially as they disproportionately affect women and people of color. We are committed to providing services and creating communities that mitigate the effects of substance use, mental illness, and trauma.
The Parent-Child Clinician in collaboration with Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) and the Supporting our Families through Addiction and Recovery (SOFAR) clinic at Boston Medical Center (BMC), will provide support and address the needs of young children birth to 6 years old who are facing early relationship challenges related to trauma exposure as a result of parental substance use. The treatment will focus on issues of maternal self-efficacy, mood and affect regulation and will support positive dyadic interactions and promote healthy infant and healthy child development.
