Let's Talk About Self Injurious Behaviours
Show Notes

Welcome to FASD Family Life, the podcast for families by families where we get real about raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I’m your host, Robbie Seale, FASD Educator, advocate and mom of four children with FASD.  I know the struggle is real, but so is success.

Whether this is your first episode, or your 60th, I invite you to settle in and  join me for a cup of coffee as we talk about SIB: Self Injurious Behaviour. To help us understand this topic I have invited a team from British Columbia Canada with expertise in this area. Joining us today are pediatrician Dr. Annamaria Richardson, parent Karyn Thompson, and Angela Clancey, director of the Family Resource Institute of BC.

The Family Support Institute of BC (FSI) is a provincial not for profit society committed to supporting families who have a family member with a disability. FSI is unique in Canada and the only grass roots family-to-family organization with a broad volunteer base.  FSI’s supports and services are FREE to any family.  For more information https://familysupportbc.com/
