## Resource

Louisiana is launching a bold new strategy to support newborns exposed to substances—before crises hit. With over 1,800 cases reviewed last year, child welfare officials are now partnering closely with Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, placing a dedicated caseworker onsite to intervene early. The goal? Connect mothers to treatment and support systems while keeping families together—and avoid foster care when possible. This pilot aims to break down silos between medical and social services, using real-time collaboration to spot needs sooner and scale the model statewide.
