The very toughest challenges for children with FASD (and their caregivers) begin in early adolescence and continue into adulthood. This workshop realistically addresses those challenges and provides help and hope for the future. Participants will learn specific strategies to calm the waters and help transition youth with FASD into successful adults. Issues addressed will include: Personal safety, interpersonal relationships, education and job training, preventing FAS meltdowns, recognizing success, help for the caregivers. This training is geared toward teachers, parents, and professionals who work with kids who experience FASD.

The cost is $20. One graduate credit is available through UAA at a separate cost.
