Living with and Supporting Someone with FASD
Join us for a Lunch & Learn session on the daily living experience of supporting someone with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)! In this session, you’ll gain practical insights into the unique challenges and rewards of caring for individuals with FASD. The presentation will focus on approaching misunderstood behaviors with empathy and understanding, while exploring how compassion, patience, and creativity can turn daily challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
We are excited to welcome Danna as our featured speaker! Danna is the Executive Director of the Foothills Fetal Alcohol Society, a nonprofit serving rural communities in Southern Alberta. She is also one of only 10 instructional coaches in Alberta involved in the WRaP2 project, which helps students with complex learning needs thrive in educational environments. Danna’s career reflects her dedication to supporting individuals with developmental challenges. In addition to her professional roles, she and her family provide residential support to a young man with developmental challenges, underscoring her personal commitment to inclusion and compassionate care.
Drawing on her professional expertise and personal experiences, Danna will share her journey and expertise in supporting individuals with FASD, offering inspiration and actionable advice for anyone involved in caregiving or education.
We look forward to hearing her inspiring insights!
