Welcome to Episode #140 of The FASD Success Show, where we're kicking off the new year with renewed energy and unwavering commitment to the FASD community. Join us as we dive into an enlightening conversation with Audrey McFarlane, Executive Director of the Canada FASD Research Network, and explore the groundbreaking developments shaping the future of FASD advocacy and support.
In this episode, Audrey shares insights on the evolution of FASD discussions, emphasizing a holistic approach beyond prevention and addressing the diverse needs of individuals with FASD and their families. We unveil the much-anticipated Mental Health Toolkit, a vital resource for professionals eager to make a difference in the lives of those affected by FASD.
We also discuss the importance of the Family Advisory Committee and how your unique perspectives can influence pivotal research projects. Audrey sheds light on the challenges and opportunities in FASD diagnosis and policy, highlighting the need for collective action to drive progress.
Moreover, we talk about the international efforts to recognize FASD as a priority on the global stage and the upcoming 2025 FASD conference in Toronto, which promises to be a catalyst for innovation and collaboration.
Audrey's call to action is clear for caregivers: your participation in initiatives like the Family Advisory Committee and caregiver surveys can spearhead transformative policies tailored to your experiences.
Celebrate with us as we reflect on a recent successful conference and the recognition of Audrey's tireless work with a prestigious award. This is a testament to the passion and dedication that fuels our journey towards FASD success.
