SUMMARY:Creating a Circle of Hope for Women and their Families Living with Addiction\, Stigma\, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
DESCRIPTION:This session will focus on how addiction can impact a woman’s health\, family\, children\, and their unborn babies. Research on lifelong cognitive\, neurological\, and behavioral disorders related to prenatal alcohol exposure will be reviewed. Additionally\, research on stigma towards mothers of children that used during their pregnancy will be summarized. Women with this lived experience face on-going stigma and bias\, loss of their children\, and debilitating shame that can place them at high risk for relapse. The focus of the session will be on how education on both addiction and recovery transforms systems of care to reframe both expectations and interventions to improve outcomes for women and their families. Participants will learn about resources for women and their families. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nList 3 common cognitive or behavioral deficits experienced by people living with an FASD.\nDefine stigma and list one way it is currently acted out by society or systems of care towards women and mothers living with AUD/SUD.\nDiscuss resiliency traits in women and families living with addictions or FASD.\nDescribe resources for women and families living with FASD.\n\nTwo CEs ($10) available through CEBrokers for Florida LMHC\, LMFT\, LCSW\, and Certified Master Social Worker. \nPRESENTER:\nKathleen Mitchell\, MHS\, LCADC\nKathleen T.
