About the Event
Lightshare’s Mothers and Infants Program empowers and treats pregnant and post-partum mothers who are facing substance abuse addiction. The Caring Hearts Event encourages the community to come together and support those most in need and celebrates the victory of 600 infants born drug-free. Join us next year as we celebrate at the 2025 Caring Hearts Event.

Treatment During & After Pregnancy
After delivery, the infant remains with the mother while she is in treatment, with an average stay of 6 to 8 months. An emphasis is placed on prenatal care, parenting skills, relapse prevention, smoking cessation, life management skills and family reunification.
The Mothers & Infants We Serve
Mothers admitted to the program are addicted to opiates, benzodiazephines, alcohol, cocaine, and many times, a combination of these drugs. They have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional trauma and have turned to drugs to cope.
