A Plan of Safe Care (POSC) is a voluntary support plan for individuals with substance misuse during pregnancy. The goal of a POSC is strengthening a family and keeping child(ren) safely at home. The POSC may prevent involvement with Children Services. A POSC provides resources that can support a pregnant individual during pregnancy and after birth. The POSC will be written with the help of one or more agencies involved in providing health care or other services to the individual or child(ren.) Who is Responsible for Developing a POSC? A Plan of Safe Care should include input from all service providers involved in the pregnant individual's care to promote the best health outcome for mother and infant. This could include: Medical staff OBGYN Mental Health Providers Early Childhood Intervention staff Home Visitors Public Health Providers Licking County POSC Partnership Caring experts from the medical, social services, mental health and treatment communities are available to consult with an individual's POSC team to explore creative solutions and resources to assist the POSC team in ensuring delivery of comprehensive services to ensure a healthy pregnancy, birth and infant.
