Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you to care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.

 

We are thrilled to bring you a series of bonus episodes featuring special guest. Dr. Jerrod Brown PhD. In each of these bonus episodes, Dr. Brown will share what every  adoptive and foster parent needs to know regarding FASD, trauma, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). 

 

On this week’s bonus episode, the tenth in our series, Dr. Brown and host, Sandra Flach discuss trauma and working memory. Working memory is the brain’s post-it note and is the main component of executive function. Listen in and learn how working memory deficits impact the daily lives of individuals with FASD and/or trauma histories.
