Overview
This training course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of both Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), equipping them with the knowledge and practical skills needed to support individuals affected by these conditions. The course is suitable for healthcare professionals, mental health practitioners, social workers, educators, caregivers, and anyone involved in providing care or support to individuals with complex behavioral and developmental needs.
Throughout the course, participants will explore the causes, prevalence, and core characteristics of EUPD and FASD, gaining insight into how these conditions present in everyday life. The training will cover emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties associated with EUPD, as well as the cognitive, behavioral, and physical effects of prenatal alcohol exposure. Participants will learn to identify triggers, understand risk factors, and recognize patterns of behavior in order to respond effectively and empathetically.
The course emphasizes practical strategies for supporting individuals in clinical, educational, and home settings. Participants will develop skills in communication, de-escalation, and collaborative care planning, while also exploring evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and supportive interventions. Real-life case studies, role-play exercises, and interactive discussions will enable attendees to apply their learning to realistic scenarios, building confidence in managing complex situations.
By the end of the course, participants will have a well-rounded understanding of both EUPD and FASD, as well as the tools and strategies necessary to provide compassionate, effective support.
