Webinar – FASD A Whole-Body Diagnosis Hosted by Surrey Place on Sept 27 at 1 pm EDT.
This webinar focuses on the physical health impacts associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. Too often, these impacts are undiagnosed and have significant consequences on a person’s quality of life and life expectancy, even at a very young age. Things such as bone, heart, joint, back, chest, feet, vision issues, mental health etc. These issues left unaddressed put can put a significant strain on health care, education and social support systems.
Keynote speaker is renowned international trainer, motivational speaker and consultant Myles Himmelreich. This will be followed by a panel discussion and 30 minute Q and A session.
This webinar is based on newer research lead by Myles and a team of self-advocates from 2017, therefore not a lot of people have had an opportunity to hear the results or understand the significant health issues many people with FASD face. I’m so happy we have an opportunity to shed more light on this area.
Please feel free to ask me any questions and share the flyer with anyone you feel could be supported in knowing more about this area (including social services, health professionals, education services, families and youth). This event is open to anyone who can register.

They are the reason the government has made these recent investments and we want to take a minute to share and stress that the individuals and families who are affected by PAE/FASD are our most important and meaningful teachers
