A Lightshare event
About the Event
Lightshare's Mothers and Infants Program empowers and treats pregnant and post-partum mothers who are facing substance abuse addiction. The Caring Hearts Event encourages the community to come together and support those most in need and celebrates the victory of nearly 1,000 infants. Join us as we celebrate at the 2027 Caring Hearts Event.
Mothers and Infants Program
Quick Facts
Evidence-Based Clinical Practice
Utilizing evidence-based clinical practice to address substance abuse and mental health issues is at the core of our program.
Treatment During & After Pregnancy
After delivery, the infant remains with the mother while she is in treatment, with an average stay of 6 to 8 months. An emphasis is placed on prenatal care, parenting skills, relapse prevention, smoking cessation, life management skills and family reunification.
The Mothers & Infants We Serve
Mothers admitted to the program are addicted to opiates, benzodiazepines, alcohol, cocaine, and many times, a combination of these drugs. They have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional trauma and have turned to drugs to cope.

“I was powerless over my childhood, but the coping strategies that I developed to survive, all of which were creative and brilliant and got me through, as an adult, those became my defects of character”
