Social work and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Given the prevalence, severity and impact of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) on individuals and communities, there should be better social work knowledge and understanding of, as well as support for, these disorders. Social workers can play a more positive role in the prevention and identification of FASD, as well as in services supporting those affected by it. Increased awareness and learning opportunities, and more encouragement and resources are necessary for social workers to fulfil their potential in this field.
The Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Research on the prevalence of FASD is critical for understanding the scale of the disability in our communities and for identifying opportunities for supporting healthy pregnancies. This research can inform decisions about allocating resources and services to support healthy families, and aid in monitoring the effectiveness of prevention efforts.
