Having met the milestones of the R61, this R33 is a 2-site, 2-group, pre/post RCT of mothers with OUD (n=\~80/group). We will test whether the beneficial pre-post changes in OUD mothers randomized to vMP exceed those of mothers assigned to Enhanced Usual Care (EUC) and via changes in Maternal Brain Neurocircuits.

Active Control
Mom Power (MP) is an evidence-based 13-session (1/week delivered virtually) psychosocial mother-child intervention with two experienced therapist facilitators that improves sensitive caregiving, parental stress, and depression.
Controls participants for the intervention receive 10 weekly mailings, with content relevant for the postpartum period (i.e., information on baby sleep, developmental milestones, box breathing and other self-care/coping strategies, fun games to play with a baby, and community resources, and general parenting); plus 10 brief check-in phone calls verifying that material was received, and additional longer phone calls to assess any imminent family needs and provide resources as needed/requested.
