The SUN Project

The SUN Project is a cross-sector, collaborative system of compassionate care that uses best practices to support the health, safety, well-being and recovery of pregnant patients with a substance use disorder, their infants, and their families. Care coordination, prevention measures, and support services are provided for families through partnerships across multiple sectors and agencies. Eligible participants receive coordination of compassionate, non-stigmatizing, state-of-the-art prenatal care, behavioral health, and social support services to aid the mother in achieving optimal health outcomes and overall wellbeing.

The SUN Project facilitates the collaboration between partners for care coordination at no cost to the patient. Separately, patients must consent to care, services, and financial responsibility at individual agencies regardless of participation in The SUN Project. The SUN Project is not a provider of clinical services; its model serves as the framework for systems-building and coordination across sectors for mothers and families impacted by substance use disorder. SUN stands for Substance Use Network.
