LANSAS May 2025: FASD workforce development for NGOs

Many social workers and support workers in Aotearoa say they want more information about how to help their clients with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and their whānau or caregivers. To address this, we set up an online group called Learning & Networking Group for Social Workers and Support Workers – LANSAS for short.

The FASD LANSAS group will meet online once a quarter in 2025. Next meeting:
• Tuesday 12 August - Topic TBC
• Tuesday 11 November – Topic TBC

The meetings are hosted by two facilitators experienced in FASD. Over 2025 they will feature special-interest presentations from support sector experts. The aim is for our support professionals to learn more about this specific neurodisability and to network with other professionals to discuss common issues. 

How to register

Note: If you have registered for the LANSAS group in the past, you'll receive a reminder email the day before.

Please go to our LANSAS info and registration page and fill in our quick form at the bottom to become part of the LANSAS group. You will then receive an email with a Zoom link which you'll use for each session throughout the year.

* PLEASE NOTE: In the interest of enabling as many social workers and support workers as possible to become FASD-informed, we have removed the requirement of being a member of FASD-CAN to take part – but we would love you to join us! It's quick and easy, and your membership info helps us to tailor our training – plus, adding to our numbers may also help with funding. There is no requirement for other input, and you will receive just one newsletter per month. Click here to join us!
