The FASD Success Show
Jeff Noble thought he knew all about FASD... until he became a full time FASD Foster Parent. Fast forward to now. Jeff has been coast to coast and from one side of the earth to the other talking, teaching and learning about FASD with other Caregivers, Front Line Staff and anyone who might sit and listen to him. In The FASD SUCCESS SHOW, Jeff and his gang of FASD Insiders will talk about FASD in a real way so that you can learn how to deal and cope with FASD in REAL life, to be a better advocate and a more confident caregiver. Jeff is going to tackle all the hot topics like FASD and aggression, sleep, hygiene, the education system, meltdowns and working with professionals. Pretty much all the things you need to know so that you can focus on being a happy, balanced caregiver. Jeff will make you laugh, he will make you think, but mostly he will give you hope that you CAN do this. Hit subscribe and get ready to transform into the FASD Caregiver you know you can be.

#090 Dr. Peter Choate: Trauma, FASD and Prevention
You know me. I’m a geek at heart. And I always say although I do know a lot about FASD, I’m not a doctor, a lawyer, or a social worker. That’s why I’m excited to bring you Dr. Peter Choate, a social worker, who has influenced my work. I must admit I was a bit nervous because of who he is. But Peter started off the interview with a dad joke and I knew we were on our way to a great conversation.
Peter’s areas of research focus on child protection practice. He has been engaged in clinical private counseling and assessment practice with an emphasis on addictions, domestic violence, and child protection matters.
This episode has everything. There were so many rabbit holes we went down: FASD prevention, stigma, judgment, trauma, addiction, exclusion, inclusion, epigenetics, harm reduction. It is hard to believe we fit it all in an hour – but we did
I know when you are amid your own struggles and challenges it feels like no one is out there trying to change the system. But I hope the guests we bring to you on The FASD Success Show, like Dr. Peter Choate, help you understand that there are people out there and we are getting there.
