Watch author Hannah Denberg read her children’s book about FASD

Storytelling has a magical way of connecting us, especially when it comes to children’s books. There’s something incredibly special about hearing the author bring their own characters and world to life through their voice. Today, we’re thrilled to share a special treat with you — a video of author Hannah Denberg reading her book “What is Your Superpower?”

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.
