Kurt is joined by Prue Walker and Dr Kerryn Bagley in a panel interview about social workers and FASD. Together they discuss how they first learned about FASD, the role social workers play in assisting people with FASD and their families. They also examine outcomes, risk surrounding FASD and how social workers can become better informed in relation to this ‘invisible’ disability.
