Meet Elizabeth (Anne) Russell. She is the founder of The Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Association. Anne is also the birth mother of two individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum disorder(FASD).
This is a raw and powerful story of a birth mom who went from feeling “absolute, crushing anguish and unbearable grief” to helping save lives through her determination to raise FASD awareness through research, advocacy, publishing a book, training and speaking and forming the first FASD organization founded by a birth mom – in effect saving lives.
In this episode, Anne shares that despite all we know about pregnancy and alcohol, there is more stigma, blame and shame then there ever has been before. She offers some practical advice to birth moms about:
1. How to look after yourself
2. How to help your child
3. Dealing with depression and anxiety
