Supporting alcohol-free pregnancy: Evidence, practice and professional perspectives
The HSE Health and Wellbeing Alcohol Programme invites you to a special webinar launching the Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (PAE) Prevention Resource Pack, taking place on Tuesday 8 September from 12.30 to 1.30pm. This resource has been developed to support healthcare professionals across a range of settings to promote healthier pregnancies and prevent harm associated with alcohol use. It offers practical, evidence-based guidance to support sensitive, non-judgmental conversations with women, partners and families about alcohol and reproductive health.
The webinar will introduce the key components of the resource pack, highlight the importance of early intervention and informed decision-making, and explore how healthcare professionals can play a vital role in prevention. It will also reinforce the shared responsibility across services and communities in supporting alcohol-free pregnancies.
