Mental health clinicians, psychologists and medical professionals are invited to attend two Zoom webinars focusing on the assessment and intervention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The webinars will provide training to elevate knowledge and expand resources. Attendees do not have to attend the first webinar to attend the second; however, the first webinar will provide foundational information regarding FASD. CEUs will be provided for attendance at each webinar.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services’ Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH) system of care is partnering with Fraser, Proof Alliance, University of Minnesota and The Village Family Service Center to provide the training sessions.
