Behind Bars: Brain Injury and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in our Justice System

Our society’s understanding of crime, of guilt and innocence, of following rules, is based on the idea that our brains are all functioning in the same way. But what happens when a brain is injured, either before birth through exposure to alcohol or after birth through an acquired brain injury? Individuals with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), are significantly over represented in our prison populations. Join us to learn about the challenge of ABI and FASD and to talk about innovative approaches to service provision that can help. Dr. Colantonio is researcher leading important groundwork around the need for a longer-term approach to meet the changing needs of those living with the affects of brain injury, as well as the shortage and inconsistency of rehabilitation services across the country.

Coffee at 9:30 am, program starts at 10:00 am
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Angela Colantonio – Researcher, University of Toronto and Board Member, Brain Injury Canada

Respondents:
Isaiah Boylan, Ottawa resident with lived experience
