Welcome to Season 4, episode 7 of the FASD Family Life Podcast. the show for families by families raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I am your host, Robbie Seale. I am an FASD educator, advocate and mom of five incredible people; including three teens diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. If my 30 years of parenting has taught me anything it is, that the struggle is real and so is success.

Did you catch my conversation with Myles Himmelreich, CJ Lutke, and Emily Hargrove? They are members of the Adult Leadership Committee of the FASD Changemakers, lead researchers and authors of The lay of the land: fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) as a whole-body diagnosis study? We discussed their groundbreaking research that led to the discovery of the 428 comorbid conditions common with FASD and changed the trajectory of FASD research.

Last week my friend Dr Jerrod Brown was back with a brand-new series: Threats to Emotional Health.  It was a fascinating conversation about Irritability, a multi-faceted issue that is not often talked about within the context of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure. HTTPS://www.aiafs.com/Jerrod-Brown-asp

FASD is a significant global health issue that needs attention which is why I decided to go on a WORLD TOUR to highlight the issue of FASD around the world as well as the tremendous work being done locally to re-educate society of the risks of consuming alcohol during pregnancy. To advocate for systemic changes that would recognize FASD as a permanent disability and provide support for individuals, and their families, impacted by prenatal alcohol exposure.

This week it is my absolute pleasure to speak with the founders of FASD Ireland Scott and Tristan Casson-Rennie about FASD Ireland, which was established in September 2021 to be the 'go to' hub for everyone living with FASD, including families, carers, educators, healthcare workers and the wider community across Ireland.  They work tirelessly to challenge and lobby Government to legislate and implement practical strategies that will reduce and prevent FASD in Ireland. 

FASD Ireland is committed to raising awareness of FASD across the country, to break down barriers and be a catalyst for everyone with FASD to be able to live the life they strive for. 

FASD Ireland will be a loud voice and persistent advocate for people living with FASD. We want to "Get Ireland talking about FASD" and will work with all stakeholders to ensure that FASD is considered and respected in every walk of life. https://www.fasdireland.ie/
