Description

Sarah Bovee does crafts with her 4-year-old son, Ryan, at their home in Oregon City. Bovee, drawing on her own experiences with opioid addiction and recovery, is a peer support specialist and doula for mothers with substance use disorders. Bovee says support from a doula and addiction specialist “changed the tape in my head” and helped her overcome some of the shame and stigma of battling substance use disorder through her pregnancy.

Every year, a group of Oregon health care professionals gathers for a grim exercise — reviewing every case in which a mother died during or soon after pregnancy. This past February, they reported a troubling finding: Mental health conditions and substance use were causing more of those deaths than any other factor.
