I’ve followed today’s guest on Twitter for a long time so was honoured when she agreed to come on the podcast and talk about what she is up to in Rochester, NY – and it is a lot!
Christie Petrenko, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and researcher who has been conducting research with individuals with FASD since 2003. She completed her graduate training in San Diego in 2009 and is currently a faculty member at Mt. Hope Family Center, University of Rochester. Her research focuses on developing and evaluating interventions for people with FASD, including the use of mobile health technology to increase access to care. Dr. Petrenko also runs a multidisciplinary FASD clinic providing diagnostic, intervention, and family support services.
Many of you may know of her and the work of her team through the Families Moving Forward program and FMF Connect App that is under testing - we talk about that and pack in a wide range of topics, including why the increase in diagnostics at her clinic, myth-busting, stigma and advice on best practices for approaching professionals and service provider
We also get details on some exciting projects she is working on, including a documentary, plans for an app for adults and mental health professionals.
