Why would we separate a baby from their mother at birth? Why do we believe this is in the baby’s or mother’s best interest when substances are involved in the pregnancy? Why wouldn’t we make sure the mother can access the help she needs and be able to stay together with her newborn? These are the kinds of questions that drive Adam Ballout, attorney and co-founder of the FIRST Legal Clinic. Listen and share: https://lnkd.in/eQwxHKgw Tune into this week’s episode with Valerie Frost and Adam talking about the innovative legal advocacy and peer parent support that the Clinic provides to new mothers. The Clinic shows that believing in parents and investing in prevention works, with 83% of infants staying together with their mothers.
