SUMMARY:Univ of Minnesota - Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Web-based Brain Assessment Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 17\, 2025\, from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST / 12 pm – 1 pm CT.Cost:  FREE \nDESCRIPTION:Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are common neurodevelopmental conditions that affect an estimated 2 to 5 percent of children across the country. Unfortunately\, many individuals with FASD do not receive a timely diagnosis due to the high cost of assessment services\, long waits for appointments\, societal stigma\, and few trained providers. In addition\, few interventions have been developed for this population. In this presentation\, Drs. Blake Gimbel and Jeffrey Wozniak\, child psychologists and clinical researchers with expertise in FASD\, will provide caregivers with information about their active study testing an online neuropsychological screening tool. The study team believes this tool may someday improve access to diagnostic services for families in remote and rural communities and help clinicians improve clinical care for individuals with FASD. Drs. Gimbel and Wozniak will provide an overview of the research project and outline how interested families may get involved in the study. In addition\, they will also highlight findings from several studies of the essential nutrient choline as an intervention to support brain health in young children with FASD. They will answer questions about these active areas of research and about FASD research more broadly. Participants of the study are compensated. \nPRESENTERS: \n\nDr. Jeffrey WozniakDr. Wozniak is a Professor\, a pediatric neuropsychologist\, and the director of child and adolescent research in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Minnesota. For more than 20 years\, his research has focused on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in children. He uses advanced MRI techniques and neuropsychology to characterize the neurodevelopmental impact of prenatal alcohol and he conducts novel clinical trials to treat the brain in FASD. \nDr. Blake GimbelDr. Blake Gimbel is an Assistant Professor and pediatric neuropsychologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University. He specializes in evaluating children with diverse congenital\, neurodevelopmental\, and medical conditions. His research centers on understanding and supporting brain development in children with complex neurodevelopmental backgrounds including FASD.

SUMMARY:RECORDING OF The Big 3: Lying\, Stealing and Raging (available 7/27/24-7/26/25)
DESCRIPTION:This is a special opportunity to view the recording at your convenience\, and available for purchase and viewing until July 24\, 2025. \nChildren and adolescents who have experienced trauma have unique brain wiring and are often at a mixture of developmental ages.  Typical consequence-based behavioral strategies are often not effective and can lead to further trauma and impact the relationship between the adults and children/adolescents.  Participants will learn new approaches to use with children and adolescents who have trauma histories which will help you to understand them better and improve communication and relationships.  The strategies we will cover are recommended for in-utero trauma such as FASD and also for trauma they may have experienced after birth.  We will specifically cover the Big 3; lying\, stealing and raging. \nPresented by: Barb Clark \nBarb Clark\, Director of Training at Families Rising (FKA NACAC)\, is a parent to five adult children\, one of who is diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. She is an advocate for learning from her own mistakes to guide others in avoiding similar pitfalls. With a background in Youth Development from the University of Minnesota\, Barb leverages humor and real-life experiences to challenge traditional strategies and promote out-of-the-box thinking for professionals and caregivers. Committed to improving the lives of individuals affected by prenatal exposure to substances and trauma\, Barb specializes in trauma-responsive strategies and her personal passion\, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Her dedication stems from her belief that she’s learned more from her children than she ever did in college. \nCost:  $27.00 to view the recording \nFor parents\, caregivers\, and professionals. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alcohol Use and Pregnancy: The Importance of Screening and Brief Intervention during Pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 16\, 2025\, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST \nMissed chances\, lasting impact: Learn how closing the gap in prenatal alcohol screening can transform care for mothers and babies—practical tools\, powerful outcomes. \n  \nDESCRIPTION:\nDespite recommendations for universal alcohol screening\, a recent CDC study found that approximately 20% of pregnant patients were not screened for alcohol use at their last visit to a primary health care provider\, and only 16% who were screened were advised by a health care provider to quit drinking or reduce their alcohol use. This gap between screening and brief intervention indicates missed opportunities to reduce alcohol use during pregnancy. This webinar will present the need for prenatal alcohol exposure screening and brief intervention\, and offer guidance on practical implementation. Learn how prenatal alcohol exposure impacts your practice\, and how you can improve the quality of care and outcomes for mothers and infants in your care. \nPRESENTER:\nKentra Gludt\, MPH\, Director of National Programs at Proof Alliance\nKendra Gludt is the Director of National Programs at Proof Alliance and has a master’s degree in public health.
