Welcome to Season 3 of the FASD Family Life Podcast. 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.
This third season of the FASD Family Life podcast is a lot of fun. It's called MomTalk. I invited other mom's raising children and youth with FASD to join me for a coffee and a chat about real life, real struggles and real successes. It is my hope that by listening to our conversations you have the sense that you are not alone; we all get things wrong and we find out that when we know better we can do better.
SUBSCRIBE NOW so you never miss an episode of FASD Family Life.
Please join me and my special guest Betty Cornelius for a nice hot cup of coffee as we talk about REAL LIFE for the reality 75,000+ Canadian Grandparents who are raising their grand children. Betty Cornelius is the mother of 2 sons, 3 granddaughters, 32 foster and founder of CANGRANDS NATIONAL KINSHIP SUPPORT. Betty says, "Knowing I am loved by my grand DAUGHTER makes the sun shine in my life!"
Betty Cornelius is the founder of CANGRANDS KINSHIP NATIONAL SUPPORT, a national grass roots organization providing information and support to the 62, 500 kinship children being raised by grandparents and other kinship family members. Betty provides encouragement, moral, and emotional support to kinship families. She has her finger on the pulse of any Parliamentary Bills that effect kinship families such as Bill 210, Bill 67 as well as medical, parenting, legal and or political issues. Betty is a warrior and strong advocate for kin-children and kin-headed households having been denied access to one grandchild or rescuing another from an abusive situation.
She also established the first Kinship Conference and Camp in Canada which has become a lifeline for kinship caregivers. This event gathered 70 isolated and marginalized kinship families with the youngest grandchild is under 2 and the oldest in their 80's together for a week of education and fun.
