Exposure to alcohol before birth can significantly affect a child’s growth, behaviour, and overall wellbeing, often in lifelong ways. Professionals across education, healthcare, and social services frequently work with children impacted by this type of early exposure. However, these effects are commonly overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistaken for other conditions. This one-day training course aims to deepen participants’ knowledge of prenatal alcohol exposure and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), while providing practical tools and approaches for delivering informed, compassionate, and effective support.
