October is National Opioid-Exposed Children Awareness Month. Did you know there isn’t a name for what opioid-exposed kids experience as they grow up? Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) has a name and a standardized treatment protocol — we want the same for our kids. 💛

Prenatal opioid exposure matters because these children matter. 💛

To teachers and early childhood educators on World Teachers Day:
Thank you for seeing the child behind the behavior, meeting them where they are, and choosing understanding over punishment. The way you partner with families is SO valuable and impacts lives long term. We're so grateful to you! 💛

💛October is National Opioid-Exposed Children Awareness Month.💛

Throughout this month, we’ll share education and resources about the 11 research-supported symptoms associated with prenatal opioid exposure—from developmental and sensory challenges to sleep difficulties, trauma responses, and academic struggles.

These children are SO MUCH MORE than the challenges they may face.
When caregivers, educators, and communities understand what opioid-exposed children may be experiencing, we can respond with greater understanding and support.

This month is about seeing, understanding, and supporting the whole child.
We hope you'll follow along!

Last week, we had the incredible honor of speaking at United Against Fentanyl's Walk for Lives event in Washington DC. Our founder and CEO, Lenette Serlo shared about her own children's stories and the broader story of all of the children in this country who continue to exist in the shadows, quietly struggling with long-term symptoms of opioid exposure before birth. Lenette's powerful speech left attendees with a powerful message: See these kids, understand them, and support them. 💛

🚨UPDATE: This session has been rescheduled for September 18! We hope you'll join us!

Sarah Harper, LAC is a trauma‑informed therapist, consultant, and adoptee advocate who brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. Sarah is a transracial domestic adoptee who was born with substance exposure. She understands firsthand the layered realities families navigate when early adversity shapes a child’s beginning.

In her clinical practice, Sarah specializes in attachment‑based and regulation‑focused theray for adults, children and teens, helping families build attuned, honest, and developmentally safe communication. She also consults with organizations and parent communities on trauma‑responsive care and adoptee‑centered truth‑telling.

Sarah’s presentation, Trauma‑Informed Truth‑Telling:Talking With Children About Prenatal Substance Exposure, offers parents practical, compassionate guidance for supporting children with NAS through identity development, and story‑sharing that strengthens connection rather than overwhelm.
