Project LINK is an interagency project aimed at helping pregnant or parenting women with risk factors for substance abuse or personal histories of chemical dependency. LINK provides a coordinated system of interagency screening, referral, service delivery, and follow-up for consumers and their children.

Services are free to women residing in the City of Fredericksburg and the Counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford.

Project LINK helps pregnant or parenting moms who are worried about how alcohol or other drug use may be affecting them or their babies. LINK can help with: finding services, transportation, child care, and personal support.

Women enrolled in LINK are assigned a LINK Specialist who:

• conducts home visits;
• makes agency referrals;
• provides follow-up;
• provides education on health, parenting, nutrition, budgeting and other issues; and
• maintains contact with staff from other agencies involved with the consumer.

A support group for consumers provides emotional support through staff intervention and the development of peer relationships and life skills training.
