The Plan of Safe Care Portfolio is a new tool created to meet a federal mandate that, while originally enacted in 1974, has most recently been amended in 2019. This federal law requires that states have plans of safe care for infants born and identified as being affected by substance use or withdrawal symptoms of both legal and illegal substances (Texas Children's Commission, 2022). Input from stakeholders, evidence from quality studies, and evaluation data from previous education activities has shown us that providers engaging with pregnant women and families are lacking awareness of the tool as well as ways to implement the tool as needed with their patients. Explanations of the purpose and target audiences for this tool (including expansion to include those involved with child welfare, homelessness, incarceration, or multiple caregiver situations) as well as case scenarios and things to consider before implementation of the Plan of Safe Care Portfolio will be discussed within the content of this course.
