Developed and delivered by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Society Yukon (FASSY) in 2025, this new training program is designed to equip social service providers in the Yukon with essential knowledge and skills to support individuals affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The course covers foundational knowledge, identification and assessment, intervention strategies, and specialized topics.
