Need for Connection and Support

In order to attain recovery, mothers related a need to feel connection to healthy supports. The mothers interviewed reflected upon instances where they felt a positive transaction build up their resiliency.

"Some [hospital staff] were very compassionate. I was far away in long term treatment when I had my son, away from where I lived, so I had no family or friends with me. The anesthesiologist asked if anyone was coming to be with me [for labor/C-section]. I told him no one. I was alone. He asked if he could hold my hand.  That meant a lot to me."
