Australian FASD Indigenous Framework with Nicole Hewlett

by FASD Hub Australia

Blending Aboriginal and Western wisdoms, taking a healing-informed approach, and facilitating two-way learning at a grass roots level are keys to improving outcomes for Aboriginal communities living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), according to a new study. 

Published in March 2023, an Australian FASD Indigenous Framework was developed in collaboration between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples and sets out the steps that non-Indigenous health professionals and Aboriginal communities can take to facilitate equitable access to culturally responsive, healing-informed and strengths-based FASD knowledge, assessments, diagnosis and supports.
