The webinar is presented by Sara Messelt, Executive Director of MOFAS, Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Description:
This webinar provides you with a step by step process for mobilizing community members to take action to prevent FASD and stand up for those who are living with an FASD. Strategies for “grassroots” and “grasstops” outreach are shared. We explore how to engage self-advocates, family members, community partners and other key stakeholders in creating change that will improve the lives of people impacted by prenatal alcohol exposure. Suggestions for legislative activity that will make a difference on the state and local level are addressed.
