Conference: Children affected by alcohol
Organised by NOFAS-UK, The National Organisation For Fetal Alcohol Syndrome-UK.
Information: As binge drinking among young women increases, society is facing increasing risks of children being born with lifelong alcohol related brain damage and a spectrum of alcohol related disabilities. Prenatal exposure to alcohol can cause: learning disabilities; hyperactivity; attention and memory deficits; inability to manage anger; difficulties with problem solving; and prenatal and postnatal growth deficiencies. This conference is a response to growing needs of people that care for and work with children and adults whose mental health was in some way affected by prenatal alcohol exposure.
