Moms’ Advocacy Network
A leadership and self-advocacy group made of mothers from across the state of Missouri who have been affected by perinatal substance use. Their collective voice, experiences, perspectives, and knowledge guide the direction of the Action Network.

Moms’ Advocacy Network
Mothers affected by substance misuse offer real value with their unique perspective when decisions are being made about them. When systems are created without these mothers at the decision-making table, gaps emerge as needs are not fully identified, understood and addressed.
In Missouri, the Moms’ Advocacy Network works to fill these gaps by bringing mothers who have experienced substance use disorders during the perinatal and/or postpartum period into discussions where service delivery, policy and support decisions are explored.
Members of the Moms’ Advocacy Network are in a period of sustained recovery and serve to lend their voices and experiences of substance misuse to guide well-informed decision-making.
