This free four-hour training is an introduction to FASD - think of it as 'FASD 101'!
He Ara Tika will be helpful for community kaimahi / staff (non-clinical), who are working with people who have or may have FASD, as well as for caregivers, parents and whānau. The training will offer participants the knowledge and strategies to effectively engage with FASD-related needs. It's also an opportunity to create supportive environments that are FASD-informed.
The training is interwoven with mātauranga Māori.

• Learn possible pathways to assess FASD.
• Gain strategies to use in your role and context to respond to FASD-related needs of the person, their whānau & support people.
