FASD describes the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects may include physical, mental, behavioural and learning disabilities. Individuals with an FASD are often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Not taking into consideration the brain differences caused by prenatal alcohol exposure can exacerbate difficulties for individuals.
Participants will leave this workshop with practical resources and a sense of hope. With the right supports and strategies in place, there is an increased likelihood of success and interdependence.
