"GET TO KNOW ME" is a provider‑facing campaign designed to improve care for and by pregnant and parenting people living with substance use disorder.

This campaign centers the voices of Philadelphians with lived experience to help healthcare and social service providers reflect on how language, assumptions, and interactions shape trust, engagement in care, and recovery outcomes. The campaign includes a series of short videos paired with practical tools that support compassionate, trauma‑informed care in real clinical and service settings.
