So awesome to see our faculty & staff out in the world, sharing their truth. Check out this video from Rev. Tandi Rogers, who leads our Spiritual Direction program, as she speaks out about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).

Glimpses of FASD - Meet Tandi
FASD United is excited to launch “Glimpses of FASD,” an exciting new short video initiative featuring individuals living with FASD sharing their own stories in their own words. The videos are a great way for people to learn more about FASDs and what it’s like to live with them in just a few minutes. These videos are an opportunity for people to hear directly from people living with FASD and better understand and appreciate the living experience of FASD. Anyone who lives with FASD or prenatal substance exposure is welcome to participate. You don’t need to have a formal diagnosis or any prior experience. We want to hear from everyone, from children to adolescents to adults. Minors under age 18 are welcome to be included and must have parent or guardian permission. The purpose of these videos is to allow people living with FASD to have a seat at the table and to educate the systems of care and the public. We hope that by sharing your story, society will gain a valuable tool to attain support services and meaningfully inform research. Our hope, too, is to get policies enacted that will ultimately improve the quality of life for individuals living with FASD across the nation.
