Every Step focuses on reducing the infant mortality rate in Alabama. This project utilizes the SBIRT Model to reduce substance use, depression, and domestic violence among individuals who are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant. VitAL works with the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Alabama Department of Public Health to provide SBIRT implementation support to OB/GYNs, ACHN, and other groups and initiatives that provide services to women across the state in an effort to identify and address substance use and mental health needs among pregnant individuals. Every Step also provides education and resources in order to promote positive health outcomes for moms and babies in Alabama.
