New Franklin Parents as Teachers

08/18/2026

Hello, PAT Families! 🍼💛

We have some formula that is nearing its expiration date, and we would hate for it to go to waste when we know there are hungry babes in our community who could use it!

📅 Expiration Date: September 1, 2026

If your family could use some, please contact Mrs. Jen at 573-537-0246 or send us a message through the New Franklin PAT page.

We’d be happy to arrange pickup or drop-off to your home this week. 🏠🍼

Please help us spread the word to a family who may need it! 💕

The Enhearten Trial at Washington University is seeking participants for a paid study on addressing stigma and improving treatment outcomes in pregnant women and new mothers with substance use concerns. The purpose of this study is to understand potential uses of the Enhearten app, which may be used to supplement traditional in-person care, reduce self-stigma, and support treatment plans during recovery.

You may be eligible to participate if:
Pregnant or gave birth within the past year
At least 18 years old
Current or past substance use concerns
Daily access to a smartphone or tablet

You will be able to receive up to $140 for participating in the study. After determining eligibility and consenting to participate, there will be 4 questionnaires over a 6-month period that can be completed conveniently on your own as a survey or with a research team member by phone or Zoom.
