We are delighted to announce that FASD Hub South West will be hosting more of their hugely successful ‘Ask the Expert Events’ for parents who support a child who has been exposed to trauma, alcohol or/and drugs. The first set of this year’s sessions have been released. To find out more details please email the group directly: fasd.southwest@gmail.com where they will be happy to add you to their forthcoming events mailing list.

Here is a first look at what they have coming up soon:

Webinar hosted by Clinical Psychologist Dr Naomi Fisher & Director of FASD South West; (date/time to be confirmed, with recorded download option) bespoke new session ‘Not Fine in School’:  

Developed as a bespoke resource for the growing numbers of families with children experiencing school attendance barriers. These barriers often relate to unmet Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (diagnosed or suspected), physical or mental illness, bullying and assault, trauma, excessive academic pressure, overly strict behaviour policies, a missing sense of belonging, and an irrelevant curriculum.
