CONNECTED COMMUNITIES RECOVERY PROGRAM
Empowering Black Women in Delaware
Black women in Delaware deserve care that understands them. The Connected Communities Recovery Program is here to provide real support for those navigating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).
We take a holistic, hands-on approach to case management, connecting Black women in New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties to the care and resources they need to heal and thrive.
How We Support Our Community
Culturally Competent Care
We train our Community Care & Resource Navigators to provide inclusive, bias-free support rooted in Black experiences. We also offer this training to providers and organizations to combat stigma in healthcare.
Personalized Support & Assessments
Every woman’s journey is different. Our navigators take the time to understand each person’s unique needs - including mental health, trauma history, and social factors - to build the right care plan.
Connecting to Essential Services
We help Black women access:
✅ Treatment programs
✅ Mental health counseling
✅ Medical care
✅ Housing support
✅ Employment & education resources
Ongoing Recovery & Extended Support
Healing doesn’t happen overnight. Our team checks in quarterly to make sure participants continue to get the help they need.
Building Stronger Communities
We partner with local organizations to create a network of care that is responsive, effective, and truly supportive. Our team hosts quarterly meetings and one-on-one sessions with providers to improve services.

Strengthening Black Maternal Health & Substance Use Movement
Black Mothers In Power is fighting for better support for Black women and girls in Delaware facing Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) at all stages of motherhood.
Through the HEAP initiative, we amplify Black women’s voices, provide education, and push for better access to care. We’ve gathered real stories, built a strategic plan, and created a substance abuse workshop to inform and uplift our community. Recovery is possible, and support should be accessible.
