In this session, we’ll be hearing from Ruruhana Brownie, FASD’s Navigator for Te Tai Tokerau / Northland, about the mahi she does in rural and city communities. She's passionate about reducing stigma, growing community awareness, and helping whānua / families access lower-cost assessments and support services.
RuruHana will be in conversation with Rose Hawkins, Regional Disability Advisor with Specialist Services at Ōranga Tamariki in Kirikiriroa / Hamilton.
Some of our past LANSAS webinar recordings are available to watch on our training platform. Find out more here.
* 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 becoming 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.
Please do inform your colleagues about LANSAS!
