FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.
On this fourth episode of FASD Hope, Podcast Host, Natalie Vecchione, interviews Dr. Glenda Clare, Founder of the Fragile Families Network and "It Takes More Than Love" project. Dr. Clare is an advocate for grandfamilies, those families that are created when grandparents or other family members raise a child of a relative, who is unable or unwilling to parent.
Dr. Clare shares how both her professional and lived experience led her to advocating for grandfamilies. In this enlightening episode, Dr. Clare and Natalie discuss the following topics: defining grandfamilies, why grandfamily awareness is such an important issue, challenges that grandfamilies face in raising their grandchildren, how substance abuse often plays a role in a child or teen going to live with grandparents / relatives, the impact of FASD on grandfamilies and how we can bring FASD awareness and better support grandfamilies.
"...For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited Me in, I needed clothes and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you came to visit Me," - Matthew 25:35-36
