Title: Navigating FASD: Empowering Foster Providers
Date: December 12th
Time Noon – 1:00 PM
Description: This one-hour training session is designed for foster parents to meet their yearly FASD training requirement for license renewal. In this training, we’ll discuss the impact of FASD on brain function and behavior, define fundamental characteristics, and learn from real life examples from caregivers. Additionally, foster parents will be introduced to various FASD-informed support resources available, along with guidance on how to access and use these resources. By the end of the session, participants will have a well-rounded understanding of FASD, useful support strategies, and valuable resources, giving them the tools and confidence to make a positive difference in the lives of children with FASD.
