                Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during

                staff, and others who are with children with FASDs every day can benefit from learning more about FASDs, how they affect the
                child, strategies for working with the child to best enable him or her to meet his or her full potential, and how to locate appropriate
                services for the affected child and his or her family. (3 CEHs)

 Feb. 7-10      CADCA’s 21st Annual National Leadership Forum – “Coalitions Moving Forward: Mapping the Future”
                Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center | National Harbor, MD

                This is the nation’s largest meeting for community prevention leaders, treatment professionals and researchers, and
                SAMHSA/CSAP’s 7th Annual Community Prevention Day! They have an exciting program planned, with bigger and better
                workshops, more networking opportunities, and dynamic plenary sessions. Held at the beautiful Gaylord National Hotel &
                Convention Center, right on the banks of the Potomac River and just 15 minutes from downtown Washington, DC.

                This year’s conference theme is focused on the future of alcohol, tobacco and other prevention, treatment and research. We
                envision a future where state and local coalitions lead prevention strategies that stop use before it starts, identify and intervene
                when problems arrive, serve as active partners with researchers, and contribute to treatment and recovery support systems.
                Coalition leaders and other professionals in the substance abuse and addiction field have the power to map their own future—but
                we need to act. The advocacy, training and networking provided at the Forum will help all attendees move forward on their own
                path. The plenary sessions, special events and workshops allow all attendees to engage directly with key national, state and local
                leaders about their vision for the future. Whether it is by utilizing technology, embracing new ideas, or forging non-traditional
                alliances—the times we live in can truly foster innovation. Set your GPS now, and join us on the road to safer, healthier, drug-free
                communities!
