"GET TO KNOW ME" Storytelling Campaign Launched

The Division of Reproductive, Child, and Adolescent Health is proud to announce the launch of "GET TO KNOW ME," a provider‑facing campaign designed to improve care for and by pregnant and parenting people living with the disease of addiction. Watch Martina's and Michelle's stories:

This campaign centers the voices of Philadelphians with lived experience to help healthcare and social service providers reflect on how language, assumptions, and interactions shape trust, engagement in care, and recovery outcomes. The campaign includes a series of short videos (under five minutes) paired with practical tools that support compassionate, trauma‑informed care in real clinical and service settings.

Want to connect or learn more about the campaign? Please email Tiffany (Tiffany.Nakajima@phila.gov) and Yuan (Yuan.He@Phila.gov).
