A Brain-Baed Training for Understanding FASD & Neurobehavioral (FA/NB) Conditions

A six-week virtual training held every Tuesday from October 15 – November 29, 2024, from 12-2 pm EST (11-1 pm CT, 10-12 pm MT, 9-11 am PST)

In this training, you will learn how alcohol and other drugs affect the developing brain and cause distinct behaviors in children, adolescents, and adults.  You will also learn how to approach these behaviors through a brain-based, trauma-informed lens, reducing frustration and expanding options for therapeutic interventions.  As caregivers and professionals, learn effective strategies and how to utilize them to empower those diagnosed with FA/NB.  You can become part of the solution to creating a more peaceful environment for their home and beyond.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand brain-based physical disabilities and behavioral symptoms
  • Recognize primary and secondary symptoms
  • Learn why people with FA/NB frequently receive overlapping diagnoses
  • Discern ineffective treatment techniques for FA/NB
  • Develop and apply effective strategies for people with FA/NB in different settings
