The Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) and the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) hosted several sessions over the summer . These courses, offered at no cost to participants, are now available on demand through the PROUD website here.

PROUD educational programming is administered by CHA and funded through a grant from DMHAS to educate those in the caring professions on support strategies that help families succeed. CHA partners with hospitals, healthcare providers, and community agencies across Connecticut to raise awareness about substance exposure during pregnancy and the postpartum period to improve the health and well-being of Connecticut parents and caregivers and infants born substance exposed.
