Stigma Reduction and FASD-Informed Practice for Social Workers
February 17, 2022 @ 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET
Presented by: Lindsay Wolfson, MPH, Manager, Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health & Researcher, Canada FASD Research Network & Nancy Poole, PhD, LLD (Hon), Director, Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health & Prevention Lead, Canada FASD
For women and people who use substances in pregnancy and individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), stigma can increase social isolation and impact access to services and care options. Social workers are ideally positioned to provide support to individuals with FASD and improve outcomes to help prevent FASD. This webinar will increase awareness of FASD, equipping social workers with tools and resources for working with, and supporting success for, individuals with FASD and women and pregnant people who use substances.
This Webinar is FREE for Ontario Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Social Service Workers (RSSW) and Students of Social Work and Social Service Work Programs. Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a nominal fee of $15.
