Lead Behavioral Health Training Coordinator, University of Alaska Anchorage Center for Human Development
Marilyn Pierce-Bulger, APRN (MN, FNP-BC, CNM) President, Board of Directors, Alaska Center for FASD & Consultant, University of Alaska Anchorage Center for Behavioral Health Research and Services
Webinar sponsored by Alaska Center for FASD
It is estimated in the U. S. that on average 1 in 20 individuals is impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Despite this high prevalence, many individuals’ impacted by FASD present with primary and secondary symptoms that are a result of the brain-based difficulties due to prenatal alcohol exposure, not receiving an accurate or timely diagnosis, and/or even recognition that they are impacted. This can often lead to poor treatment outcomes and the need for higher levels of clinical interventions. This training has been developed with behavioral health clinicians in mind to provide an introduction to the impacts of prenatal alcohol exposure on the brain, to assist them in identifying when that may be a contributing factor to the clinical presentation, and how to provide support to the individual impacted, as well as their family. Upon completion of the training, providers will have a beginning ‘toolbox’ of concrete strategies to use and resources to gain more skills.
