Emerging Action in Research: CanFASD Trainee Webinar Series Part 1

The CanFASD Trainee Program supports students and early career researchers across Canada. It helps them become more engaged in and knowledgeable about FASD research and initiatives. Led by Dr. Katherine Flannigan, the trainees have spent the last few months advancing their skill sets and learning from CanFASD. Split across two webinars, the eleven trainees will present on a research project that has recently been completed or is under way.

This webinar will feature presentations on: 

  • FASD knowledge and self-efficacy among psychologists in education 
  • Attitudes and practices of New Brunswick’s social workers regarding prenatal alcohol use 
  • A cross-sectoral look at FASD awareness in health, justice, education, and more 
  • How strength training may support mood and behavior in youth with FASD

Understanding the Past to Shape the Future: Transitional Planning for Students with FASD 

Friday, May 30th at 1:00pm EST  

This webinar builds on the momentum of our last Education and FASD webinar. The session will specifically dive into the topic of transitional planning for students with FASD. Designed for educators, caregivers, policymakers, and professionals across the education sector, this webinar offers practical strategies for supporting students with FASD – whether diagnosed or not.   

During this webinar, presenters will explore how to recognize signs of FASD in the classroom, build strong, trust-based relationships with students and their caregivers, and implement effective planning to help students thrive as they move into a new school year. Join us to learn how past experiences influence current behaviour – and how thoughtful transitions can set the stage for future success. Register now.
