Why suicide prevention support is crucial for people with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disability that affects the brain and body of people prenatally exposed to alcohol. New research is backing concerns raised by the FASD community about the high rates of suicidality among people with FASD.
Towards Healthy Outcomes for Individuals with FASD
All human beings are motivated by the desire to live with purpose and succeed. It’s not enough to simply ‘get by’ in life; we must feel as though we’re meeting expectations set by ourselves and others. People of all abilities need to feel they have a purpose and can contribute to society. However, the path to these experiences may be unique, especially for individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), where the nature of the disability can vary. Finding this path can be even more difficult due to a lack of understanding.
Social work and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Given the prevalence, severity and impact of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) on individuals and communities, there should be better social work knowledge and understanding of, as well as support for, these disorders. Social workers can play a more positive role in the prevention and identification of FASD, as well as in services supporting those affected by it. Increased awareness and learning opportunities, and more encouragement and resources are necessary for social workers to fulfil their potential in this field.
