Welcome to FASD Family Life, the podcast for families by families where we get real about raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I’m your host, Robbie Seale, FASD Educator, advocate and mom of five children, three of who are diagnosed with FASD. I know the struggle is real, but so is success. Whether this is your first episode, or your 83rd, I invite you to settle in and join me for a cup of coffee as we learn about a very special resource in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Research & Resource Editions of the FASD Family Life podcast are designed to give you information on a variety of FASD networks, resources, training events, and conferences, as well as fascinating FASD studies for your participation and interest.

In this Research & Resources Edition of FASD Family Life Research & Resources edition I am delighted to speak with Avnit Dhanoa, Youth Services Program Coordinator with the Elizabeth Fry of Northern Alberta. I met Avnit at a meeting of the Edmonton FASD Network in January 2022. I was intrigued by the efry programs she summarized at the EFAN meeting , and when she mentioned the STOP-Lifting program I knew I wanted to learn more.

G.I.R.L.S. Empowered and Strong (GES) is a program for teenage girls who want to address issues they are facing and become empowered to make strong and positive choices for themselves and their futures.
The goal of this program is to provide girls, ages 12 to 17, with the skills and knowledge they need in order to make healthy life choices, thereby preventing future involvement in the criminal legal system. GES addresses the realities that teen girls face in their daily lives. The program is FASD friendly and is designed to be able to meet the unique needs of girls with this diagnosis while building emotional, intrapersonal, and interpersonal skills for all girls.
