Upcoming Virtual Training: “A FASD Story – Creating Space for Voices through Artmaking”
Are you applying for funding or looking for creative ways to support individuals with FASD? Join Candice Burnett and Amanda Sutherland for an inspiring training based on the art therapy workbook A FASD Story: Creating Space for Voices through Artmaking.
This session will explore how to support the 10 brain domains often affected by FASD using strengths-based art invitations. Learn how artmaking can create a shared language that emphasizes the strengths of individuals with FASD through creativity, storytelling, and metaphor.
Whether you’re a support group leader, caregiver, FASD worker, coordinator, service provider, individual with FASD—or someone interested in funding a meaningful project—this training is for you!
Don’t miss this opportunity to spark ideas, deepen your understanding, and explore innovative, supportive approaches rooted in art therapy.
Health Nexus continues to support families, caregivers, and individuals affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) through funding for Family and Caregiver Support Groups.
