Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Webinar (Wales Only)

This session will be delivered by Stuart Khokhar – Foster Carer and Trainer.

Exposure to alcohol during pregnancy can cause irreversible changes to a developing brain, affecting cognitive, emotional, and physical development. This damage occurs before birth but has lifelong consequences. In this webinar, we will share a foster carer's lived experience of supporting a child with known and documented prenatal alcohol exposure. The session will offer insight into the realities of caring for a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), and the practicalities of providing long-term support.

This webinar will include:

• What is FASD?
  Understanding the condition and its impact on development.
•  How does it occur?
  Exploring the effects of alcohol exposure during pregnancy.
• How does it present?
  Recognising the signs and symptoms in children and young people.
• What support does the young person need?
  Identifying strategies and resources to meet their needs.
• What are the long-term implications and practicalities of care?
  Reflecting on the challenges and considerations for foster carers
