FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over nineteen years of lived experience.
FASD Hope is partnering with FASCETS for "FASCETS Fridays", which will air twice a month. FASCETS Facilitators will be teaching our listeners about a variety of topics related to FASD and other brain-based diagnoses.
Episode 85 is the SECOND FASCETS Friday episode and features Melissa Elligson. Melissa Elligson is a Certified Facilitator of the FASCETS Neurobehavioral Model and a FASCETS Program Director. She is also a community-based counselor in Roanoke, VA. Melissa holds a Master's Degree from Seton Hall University and she has spent the past twenty years as an advocate, community counselor and trainer. Her passion is working with children and families living with neurobehavioral conditions and providing training on an international level. Melissa became frustrated that traditional models were not working within the community and this brought her Diane Malbin and her journey with FASCETS. Melissa is currently providing training, consultation and family groups. She is also working on developing a community-based diagnostic clinic in Southwest Virginia.
This second FASCETS Friday Episode is titled "Brain First and Examining Our Values" and Melissa shares the following: her journey in becoming a FASCETS Facilitator, why thinking 'brain first" and examining our values are a foundation of the FASCETS Neurobehavioral Model, real-life examples of "brain first" and examining our values, how parents / caregivers / educators can start taking small steps in changing their values to make a better fit and words of hope for listeners.
