Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability caused as a result of pre-natal alcohol exposure. This 2-hour session will be an introduction into FASD and cover a number of areas, including:

  • an overview of FASD 
  • details of effects of prenatal alcohol exposure
  • the impact of FASD on children, young people and their families
  • how we can support children and young people living with FASD
  • alternative approaches and strategies to parenting/caring
  • barriers, signs and symptoms

Content

This session will incorporate an introduction to the NVR (Non-violent Resistence) programme. NVR is designed to empower parents and carers to build a new authority and to resist engaging in conflict with a child/young person – and can often be useful when parenting, caring or supporting a child or young person with FASD.

Target Group

This session is open to parents and carers who would like to know more about FASD, it is also open to those who work with children and young people – regardless of profession.
