Free workshop: An overview of fetal alcohol syndrome

One in eight women reports using alcohol while pregnant, according to U.S. statistics – and their children can be left with serious, lifelong effects.

Bancroft will explore this issue in its workshop, including the characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome, its prevalence, prevention, associated learning disabilities, physical impairments and more.

Designed for the public and professionals, the workshop will be presented by Cheryl Cifelli, LSW, a social worker for the Bordentown Regional School District.
