Abstract
Working with families with children in the form of family assistantship has been carried out in Poland for over 10 years. The family assistant works with families to strengthen their care and educational skills and to assist with home and family matters. It also coordinates counselling for pregnant women. Families deal with life's difficulties in different ways. Alcohol is seen as one of the means of self-regulation of emotions. Drinking alcohol by pregnant women can lead to FASD (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder). Thus, the profession of a family assistant is one of the helping professions that can counteract this phenomenon. This article presents the experiences of family assistants in working with pregnant women who consume alcohol and their opinions on the methods of preventing and treating addictions in expectant mothers.
