Every Touchpoint Matters: Perinatal Mental Health and Overdose Prevention

Originally presented live at the 2026 Kentucky Overdose Prevention Summit (Louisville, KY). The presenter explores the intersection of perinatal mental health, substance use disorder, and overdose risk, emphasizing the critical opportunities that arise during the perinatal period to identify and address these concerns. The session highlights the role of navigators across clinical and community settings in recognizing perinatal depression, assessing substance use, and implementing compassionate, trauma-informed interventions. Practical strategies for screening, communication, and referral are shared, with a focus on leveraging every patient interaction as an opportunity to support maternal well-being, reduce stigma, and promote safety for both parent and infant. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Identify the relationship between perinatal depression, substance use disorder, and increased risk of overdose during the perinatal period. 2. Apply trauma-informed and non-stigmatizing communication strategies when discussing mental health, substance use, and overdose prevention with perinatal patients. 3. Implement practical screening, referral, and safety planning approaches to support perinatal individuals at risk for depression, substance use, and overdose. Presented by: Anna Chamberlain, APRN Nurse Program Administrator, Kentucky Department of Public Health, KyCOMPASS (HRSA-funded).
