FASD Family Life
FASD Family Life podcast is where we get REAL about raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I am Robbie Seale, the host and producer of the FASD Family Life Podcast. I'm so glad that you found this podcast.
I am not a social worker or a psychologist. I am a mom who snuck into conferences, scoured the internet, read books, attended for webinars and workshops because I was desperate to learn everything I could about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and trauma. Why? Because my family was in crisis!
What I learned changed EVERYTHING!
I want to share what I learned with you, parent to parent. I know the struggle is real, and so is success! To hear my story listen to season 1, episode 10.
The FASD Family Life podcast will encourage, educate, and equip you to become a confident caregiver of your loved one with FASD and trauma. You will discover the source of challenging behaviours, how to care for yourself amid the stress, and learn practical strategies to improve life for you and your loved one with FASD.
If you have a comment or a question email me at FASDFamilyLife@gmail.com.
I'd love to hear from you!

Summer Series: Talk to the Experts - Chris Fillion
Welcome to FASD Family Life, the show where we get REAL about raising children and youth with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I am Robbie Seale your host, FASD educator, advocate and mother of four with FASD. I know the struggle is real, and so is success. In this 21st episode of FASD Family Life my guest, Chris Fillion, a 36 yr old with FASD and ADHD will share his perspective on growing up in foster care and the unfortunate events that unfolded when he aged out of care. Without adequate supports Chris struggled, and as a vulnerable youth he was easily led into mischief that ultimately led to criminal charges and prison. But his story does not end there. Get yourself a cup of coffee and buckle up its going to be a bumpy ride from adversity to advocacy. Today Chris is married, owns his own car, and is the Executive Director of a start up not for profit called WEAREYOU to serve at-risk-youth with a disability in his community of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Chris will tell you the struggle is REAL and so is success.
