Friday, September 27, 2024, from 12 pm-2 pm EST
No charge to register,  2 CEs  ($10) for Florida LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, and MCSW, Certificates provided for self-reporting for others

DESCRIPTION:

This webinar will help community partners better understand the potential impacts of prenatal alcohol exposure on an individual’s development, learning, and behavior; the possible consequences when these needs are not effectively supported will also be discussed. This training will explain the primary characteristics of prenatal alcohol exposure as well as how secondary and tertiary effects may impact how a provider perceives not only the presenting problem but also the individual themselves. The webinar will focus on how to better support individuals affected by prenatal alcohol exposure by becoming an FASD-informed organization.  Participants will be given tools for screening and assessing individuals for FASD, ideas to assist with the onboarding of new employees and learn how the services and resources of The Florida Center for Early-Childhood’s FASD Program (as well as the larger community) can support your agency’s efforts to become FASD-informed.

TAKEAWAYS:

• To provide a general understanding of FASD and its impact on various systems.
• Learn the benefits of becoming an FASD-informed organization to more effectively help individuals exposed to alcohol and other substances prenatally.
