Abstract
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic presented numerous challenges and changes for all frontline providers, but the impacts on care staff in community service agencies is less understood. The current study involving secondary data analysis explored how frontline care staff with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) program describe their work during the public health restrictions. Semi-structured focus groups were conducted with frontline care staff (N=20). Inductive thematic analysis resulted in three themes: shifting procedures, adapting interactions, and declining motivation. Changes in work because of COVID-19 and feelings in response to those changes shed light on the yet unknown cost of the pandemic on these services and the FASD community.
