Moms Living Clean will give policy makers and legislators insight into the challenges faced by parents in recovery by putting a face to the facts. This will inspire them to sustain and create more substance abuse rehabilitation programs for women and children.

The intended audience for Moms Living Clean includes: legislators, policy makers, social service providers, social work and mental health professionals, women and men with substance abuse issues, their family and friends, and the general public. Our goal is to evoke compassion for women in this multi-layered and difficult situation. The viewer will be left with two motivations. 1) That many more residential treatment programs for women and their children need to be funded. 2) That the life-changing healing process for the women in the film will inspire others to integrate some of the Concepts of Living into their own lives.

Distribution will be through traditional means including: screenings at regional and national conferences on the issues, educational distribution to high schools, colleges and universities, and public television broadcast. Other methods include partnering with regional and national organizations whose mission is to promote gender specific drug rehabilitation programs, and prevention and education about violence against women and children.

Substance abuse is a major issue in this country. The national public television broadcast of Moms Living Clean will attract a diverse audience. The heartfelt courageous stories of the six women in Moms Living Clean who are determined to turn their lives around, puts a face on the stigma of mothers with substance abuse problems, and will help bring greater understanding and compassion for them. Viewers will gain a greater awareness of the need for more family centered rehabilitation programs. This will pave the way for individual, family and community awareness that can lead to social change.
