FASD Family Night
The Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Family Night Program provides free training and support for caregivers, children, and teens affected by FASD.
The Family Night Program is a monthly event provided at no cost to families. It is typically offered one Friday evening per month from 5:30-7 p.m. at Mt. Hope Family Center.
Family Night Activities
Our Family Night Program was created to not only to give families the tools they need to succeed. Here’s a general outline of what kinds of activities are typically included:
Applying the Training
After the presentation, we will help you figure out how to apply this new information to the unique needs of your family, as well as connect you with available community resources.
Meet Other FASD Families
Take time to connect with other families during dinner, with food provided by Mt. Hope Family Center.
Activities for Kids and Teens
We offer developmentally appropriate activities for children, teens, and young adults. These activities focus on social skill development and self-regulation is emphasized.
Who Can Attend?
Families do not need to have a family member with a formal FASD diagnosis to attend, although it should be suspected. Siblings and other family members are welcome. Although many families live in the Rochester area, the Family Night Program is open to anyone who can make it.
