September is Awareness Month, making it an important time to talk about prevention — and the role professionals can play. 💛

SBIRT — Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment — provides professionals with a practical approach for identifying risky alcohol use, starting supportive conversations, and connecting individuals with additional resources when needed.

A new article from the National Association of Social Workers highlights three things professionals should know about prenatal alcohol exposure and alcohol SBIRT — including how even brief screening and conversations can make a difference.

đź§  What makes FASD different from other neurodevelopmental disorders?

FASD can look similar to conditions like ADHD or learning disorders, making it difficult to recognize. Research highlighted by CanFASD found that children with FASD may experience challenges across multiple areas of cognitive functioning at the same time—including memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning.

Early identification and the right supports can make a meaningful difference.

đź§  New research is taking a closer look at prenatal substance exposure and early brain development.

The NIH-funded HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study is following thousands of children across the U.S. to better understand how prenatal exposure to substances—including alcohol, opioids, cannabis, and tobacco—along with social and environmental factors, may influence brain and child development.
Researchers hope these findings will help identify risks, protective factors, and potential opportunities for earlier support and intervention.

💙 FASD impacts the whole family—including siblings.

New research is shining a light on an often-overlooked perspective: the experiences of siblings of people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
Siblings may take on added responsibilities or sometimes feel their own needs are overlooked, but they also describe developing strengths like empathy, resilience, patience, and advocacy.
Recognizing and supporting siblings is an important part of supporting the whole family.
