Listening to Nancy Lockwood from FASD Ottawa @ today's #FASDSymposium speaking about older caregivers supporting loved ones w/#fasd. She's discussing the prevalence also experiencing #AFCCA - it doesn't just stop at 18. Thank you for highlighting this often overlooked population.

Beautiful sentiment here, emphasizing the value of relationships and connections in supporting our young people in the hardest moments. Thanks for sharing FASD Ottawa and @NVRinformedNE. #AFCCA #APFEA #connections #NVR

“That was something that was pushed,” she said. “That you had to relinquish custody in order to keep your family safe..." Families living w/#AFCCA are continuing to go to extreme lengths to keep everyone safe and still facing impossible situations: globalnews.ca/news/9430264/l… #onpoli

In today's #traumasymposium by Canadian Consortium on Child & Youth Trauma, Dr. Judith Herman spoke about shared community + groups for survivors of violent #trauma in healing & restorative justice. Re-enforces what #families and #youth experiencing #AFCCA have told us, in combatting #shame and isolation.

As the 2023 Canadian Consortium on Child & Youth Trauma #traumasymposium finishes today, there's a common thread evident across sessions: the importance of community, belonging, connection with groups with shared experiences, as paths to healing #trauma. Feels tremendously hopeful. #AFCCA #APFEA #HEALING
