Children and young people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often interact with multiple service systems throughout their lives. When professionals across these systems understand FASD and work together, individuals and families are more likely to receive the support they need.
Join NOFASD Australia and the Australian Alcohol and Other Drugs Council (AADC) for a special webinar exploring the intersection of Out-of-Home Care, Justice and Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) services, and why collaboration across these sectors is essential.
This webinar also marks the launch of a new lived experience FASD resource, developed to support professionals working with children, young people and families navigating these complex systems.
