MESSAGE FROM IHS COMMANDER SCOTT PEAK
PAO PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER

Hello All and hope this newsletter finds you well.

Over the past several months, we have explored multiple aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). From an overview, ways to support families, communications with providers, referral, and the role of support personnel. We then provided several issues with case “vignettes” or sample interactions between simulated patients and staff/providers/counselors.

We now will be providing a series of tip sheets that provide helpful hints ranging from relational tips, managing money, and developing routines just to name a few. We think you will find these helpful.
