After the FASD Diagnosis: Navigating the Next Steps

Description

(January 2026) 

Receiving an FASD diagnosis can bring a mix of relief, grief, and uncertainty. For many caregivers, the next question is: what now? This workshop offers a roadmap for the days, weeks, and months after diagnosis. We’ll cover how to process your own emotions, access services, share information with schools and family, and begin shifting to brain-based parenting strategies. Caregivers will leave with practical tools, realistic expectations, and renewed hope for supporting their child’s unique strengths and challenges. Professionals will learn how to help families navigate the next steps.
