FASD Events

Bucks County Conference on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
June 15, 2012

It is estimated that at minimum 1 in 100 individuals is negatively affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. The lifelong challenges due to brain changes from prenatal alcohol exposure have implications for every system of care, including early intervention, education, substance use disorder treatment, mental health treatment, developmental disabilities, child welfare, healthcare, criminal justice, and more. An understanding of these potential challenges and how they can be uniquely addressed can lead to better outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.

This year, our conference focuses on FASD in adolescents and adults and on FASD in the criminal justice system. We feature 2 prominent authorities on FASD: Dr. Susan Adubato and Dr. Mary DeJoseph.  This conference is sponsored by The Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc. and is limited to those providers who live or work in Bucks County.
