Teens Growing up with FASD: Documentary and Discussion

Hosted by NCFASD Informed

Under the best of circumstances, adolescents face an uphill battle on their way to maturity. Adolescents affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol, including those within a diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), endure untold additional challenges, trying to find a way to understand and interpret stimuli that is coming at them from multiple directions.  “Moment to Moment: Teens Growing Up With FASDs” explores the lives of four adolescents with FASD and the effects that prenatal alcohol exposure has had and continues to have on their journeys to finding independence, fulfillment, and understanding the world around them.
