It's really great and I look forward to reading more research, especially in this area.
When it comes to raising a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), understanding the needs of the entire family is crucial. In this episode of 'Pregnancy and Alcohol: The Surprising Reality', Kurt sits down with Dr Natalie Phillips, a psychologist and researcher from The University of Sydney. Dr Phillips shares her award-winning research on how families navigate the complexities of FASD, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive support systems.
They discuss the challenges families face, from delayed diagnoses due to a lack of healthcare professional knowledge to the emotional toll on caregivers. Dr Phillips' research reveals that while a diagnosis can significantly improve caregivers' ability to manage their child's needs, access to necessary support services remains a major hurdle. She highlights the need for community education and awareness to help break down these barriers.
This episode offers valuable insights into the real-world struggles and resilience of families affected by FASD, making it a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in understanding this often-overlooked condition.
