An evidence-based intervention, clinically proven to help families, and their children, ages 3-13 years, living with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE)
or fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).  For master’s level professionals in counseling, social work, psychology or related fields, working
with families with children living with PAE/FASD, in person or via telehealth across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.

The Families Moving Forward (FMF) 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. FMF combines a positive behavior support (PBS) approach with motivational interviewing (MI), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help parents better understand the difficulties faced by children because of their neurological differences when living with FASD or affected by PAE. FMF uses scientifically validated strategies to help parents change their own knowledge and attitudes, leading to improvements in their child’s behavior.

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