Brief Summary

While motherhood is central to the design of maternal integrated substance use treatment programs, "evidence-based" parenting interventions tailored to the needs of the population are rare. Stakeholder engagement has revealed that the evidence-base is not reflective of the needs of client population. With 34 ECD programs in Ontario, ECD programs are unique position to pilot Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch Up (ABC) and see if it is a good fit for their clients and if it is effective and feasible. ABC is 10-week evidence-based parenting intervention for parents who live in the context of complex risk, including mental health, addictions, child welfare involvement, and poverty. Investigators of this project will complete a open label mixed method feasibility pilot study involving active implementation of ABC that will involve: 1. exploration facilitators and barriers of the year-long implementation and training process and 2. exploration of changes in maternal mental health, substance use and parenting outcomes from beginning to end of treatment. Results of this mixed method pilot study will inform a larger trial with a control group and support a funding application to support its completion.
