April 2008: Third National Biennial Conference on Adolescents and Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum [Vancouver]

Description:
Adolescents and adults with FASD have a high frequency of emotional and behavioral problems that can range from difficulty coping with life's challenges to severe psychological and psychiatric disorders. In the absence of empirically validated effective treatment approaches, professionals and caregivers have been developing a "Wisdom of Practice" response to both the unique and common needs of individuals, their families, and service providers. This conference will highlight what has been shown through this "Wisdom of Practice" to be most effective in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues in individuals with FASD, and treatment and support for their families and service providers. This conference will also focus on enhancing creative approaches to support treatment and program planning with the goal of effective policy development and implementation.

Date: April 10-12, 2008
Location: The Coast Plaza and Suites at Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC
