FASD Unfiltered: Parents and Carers Speak Out

The more that people can understand what FASD is, the bigger difference that's going to make, not only in our kids' lives.
Ever wondered what it's like to care for a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)? In this episode, host Kurt Lewis sits down with three dedicated parents and carers—Christine Brooks, Sam Pinnell, and Kath Thomas—to uncover the raw, unvarnished realities of living with FASD. These candid conversations reveal the emotional highs and lows, the constant need for one-on-one supervision, and the crucial importance of self-care for caregivers.
The episode also delves into the various support networks and strategies available to families, emphasizing the transformative power of education in preventing FASD. As one carer notes, understanding FASD is key to making a real difference. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that offers not just insights but also practical advice for anyone touched by this condition.
