Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability that often requires extensive intervention and support from the helping professions, notably social work. This article considers why a social work response to FASD is needed and explores social work frameworks and models that underpin current FASD-informed practice. It illustrates the discussion with three international models used in Canada and New Zealand, the Key Worker model, the Communities of Practice model and an advocacy and mentoring model.

Solution Focused

Brief, solution-focused intervention embodies some of the more important and distinguishing assumptions of social work practice, most notably the strengths and resilience orientations. This practice model provides a much-needed link between the abstract arena of the classroom and contemporary social work practice. In this article, the author presents the key assumptions of this model. Through the use of a case example, the author also discusses how this model may be incorporated into the generalist social work practice curriculum.
