Learning
Learning more about FASD is the first step towards doing things differently.
Prue has been providing FASD training since 2009 and her workshops draw on the latest research from Australia and internationally.
FASD Workshops
Prue’s FASD workshops provide the foundation for families and professionals to understand and respond to FASD.
Workshops are delivered face-to-face and by Zoom. Learn how to recognise FASD, understand a diagnosis, take the next steps and engage helpful services and supports.
Prue draws on evidence-based approaches to help professionals understand how to adapt their work to meet the needs of those with FASD.
More advanced workshops for professionals include supporting children in out of home care; youth justice issues; and case planning. Prue can also tailor training to your needs.

Prue was an amazing facilitator and assisted us with being able to provide appropriate care and service to a young person we were working with at the time. Prue provided opportunities for us to explore this young person’s case and to go over his FASD assessment. Prue provided resources to further support us in our journey with the young person and his carer.
