Purpose This community‐based participatory research project explored the feasibility of delivering parenting and recovery supports through digital technology for mothers recovering from addictive substances. Design and Methods A community advisory board of key stakeholders ( n = 7) served as a focus group of advisors to discuss needed supports. Data were analyzed through qualitative descriptive analysis. Findings Results revealed themes about challenges and supports needed, and whether supports delivered through digital technology may improve recovery and parenting. Practice Implications Future exploration needs to examine the extent to which the use of community‐guided, tailored digital support applications that supplement prescribed treatment can enhance parenting and recovery.
