FASD lunch n’ learn series aims for awareness
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, continues to be a prevalent, and highly misunderstood disability, and the negative stigma around it can sometimes make it hard to find information and support.
The provincial FASD Network was in Prince Albert Tuesday to talk about programs and resources available to caregivers and those who work with individuals with FASD, including teachers, social workers, and those who work in group homes and the justice system. The FASD Lunch n’ Learn session is part of a series of events that took place across the province over the past few weeks.
Shana Mohr, training coordinator with the FASD Network, said the events are an opportunity to talk about the impacts of FASD without the stigma.
