Explore our library of drug-use prevention resources
Half the battle of our prevention work is informing the uninformed. We desire that all become educated on what substances are out there, how they are affecting each and every one of us, and how we can help prevent substance use disorder (SUD). We hope these resources guide you to the help you may be looking for.

Every Baby Deserves a Chance for a Healthy Start
Hushabye Nursery’s mission is to ‘embrace substance exposed babies and their caregivers with compassionate, evidence-based care that positively changes the course of their entire lives.’
The organization was founded by Tara Sundem, a neonatal nurse practitioner who witnessed firsthand the challenges of newborns exposed prenatally to opioids and those families trying to care for them.
Hushabye Nursery offers a safe and inclusive space where parents, caregivers, and babies – from conception through childhood – can receive integrative care and therapeutic support that offers each child the best possible life outcomes. Programs include prenatal and postpartum support groups, inpatient nursery services and outpatient therapies.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health is funding Rise Up! Glendale for Substance Use Prevention and Response Interventions through August 2025. Partnership does not imply endorsement of other activities, views, or statements from Rise Up! Glendale.
