This Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Awareness Month, social workers can deepen their understanding of FASDs and how to prevent them. A key tool in FASD prevention is universal alcohol screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), an evidence-based, highly effective modality for evoking a client’s motivation to address risky substance use. 

Do you have eight minutes to help your fellow social workers? We want to know your thoughts on discussing COVID-19 vaccines with clients, and your experience with NASW’s Connect to End COVID-19 initiative.

National Women’s Health Week starts each year on Mother’s Day to encourage women to make their health a priority. This message is especially important given that women’s drinking has increased substantially over the last two decades.
