Community Demonstration Pilot: FASD Youth Skills Curriculum Grant

Proof Alliance has developed an interactive, structured skills group curriculum for youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Informed by our extensive experience facilitating FASD-specific youth groups and guided by consultation with nationally recognized FASD experts, Barb Clark and Michael Harris, MA, LP, SEP, this curriculum is designed to be facilitator-friendly, engaging, and grounded in lived experience. Our goal is to ensure the curriculum is practical, responsive to youth needs, and ready for dissemination to community-based organizations.

The purpose of the pilot is to field test and evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and scalability of the curriculum designed to support transition-age youth (ages 14–21) with confirmed or suspected FASD and related neurodevelopmental differences. During the pilot phase, Proof Alliance will also be field testing the curriculum with a monthly teen skills group cohort in St. Paul to assess implementation processes, participant engagement, and preliminary outcomes.
