Learn the evidence-based, CDC recommended, intervention for FASD

The Families Moving Forward (FMF) Specialist Training and ensuing 10-18 1-hour intervention fidelity training, teach professionals to deliver the FMF Program as an FMF Specialist.

The FMF Program is a positive parenting intervention designed to help families raising children between 3 and 13 years old, or who are older but at a functional level in this range. The program aims to help children who have concerning behavior problems and are affected by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), with or without a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) diagnosis. This behavioral consultation intervention combines a positive behavior support (PBS) approach with motivational interviewing (MI), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help parents change their own knowledge and attitudes about the disorder, leading to improvements in their child’s behavior. The FMF Program is a scientifically validated intervention listed as a promising practice by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse.

FMF sessions are designed to be delivered in person, however, they may be conducted via telehealth.  Sessions are designed to be delivered in order but can be easily customized to suit the needs of individual families.
