Welcome to the FASD Family Life Podcast - Research & Resource Edition

FASD Family Life is the podcast for families by families raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I am you host, Robbie Seale.  I am an FASD educator, advocate and mother of five children, four with FASD with more than 20 years experience.  I know the struggle is real and so is success.

It can be a struggle to find resources and research to support you, your family, and your child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. That's why I have embarked on a new initiative to interview the movers and shakers in the FASD Research and Resources community. Every Monday I will drop a Research & Resource episode to give you information on a variety of FASD Networks, resources, training events, and conferences. I will also bring you information on fascinating FASD studies for your participation and interest,

This week my guest is Chad Bousman, PhD.  Associate Professor at the University of Calgary and research lead on a fascinating study on DNA guided prescribing for children and youth.  It is a fascinating study that is actively recruiting: children / youth who are starting or changing medication for their mental health to participate in pharmacogenetic testing through the research program at the University of Calgary.
