Hope RISING Clinic is the only clinic in our region offering comprehensive services for prenatal substance exposure. Our goal is to reach every child and family in need.
The Challenge
Prenatal substance exposure affects four times as many children as autism spectrum disorder, yet resources and services to support this growing population are severely limited. As a division of Wonderland Child & Family Services, Hope RISING Clinic is changing the way our community addresses this silent epidemic.

Prenatal Substance Exposure (PSE)
While a major cause of developmental disabilities, treatment for prenatal substance exposure remains widely unaddressed and underfunded due largely to stigma and shame. 10% of children born in the United States are affected by prenatal substance exposure, and prenatal alcohol exposure is widely considered under-identified, with some estimates as high as 20%. Hope RISING Clinic staff knows how to reach PSE-impacted children early and deliver support services that optimize their prospects for a healthy and productive life.
Parenting in Recovery Support Group
Join mental health therapist, Jessi Crowley, for a weekly support group, specifically for parents in recovery. Participants should identify as being in recovery from alcohol or drug use and should be invested in exploring how this aspect of themselves relates to parenting.


“I would not have made it through the pandemic without Hope RISING Clinic. The therapists not only see what I see, they understand what’s causing the disability.” – Hope RISING Clinic parent
Meet Anna, one of Hope RISING Clinic’s incredible young clients.
Anna spent the first few weeks of her life in the NICU weaning off heroin and methamphetamine after being prenatally exposed. This story is a testament to Anna’s strength, her loving family, and dedicated providers at Hope RISING Clinic.
Donate to help us reach more children like Anna!

FASD Awareness & Action
FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) is the leading preventable cause of birth defects and developmental and learning disability worldwide, but there is little awareness about the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure and FASD remains an “invisible disability.” Together, we can change that.
