Counting down the days to @City2SurfSydney ! Running to support an Australia free of #alcoholharm. For those who know, I’m not a runner, but I’m going to give it a red hot go in my red hot shoes! To support me and the FARE team, please check out lnk.bio/jbtalksfasd

In conversation with clinical social worker Prue Walker, Jessica reflected on her personal journey, how health professionals can combat stigma around FASD and how a correct diagnosis can lead to understanding and access to support. Check it out here: mhpn.org.au/podcasts/in-th…

So grateful to Beyond 6 Seconds for inviting me onto their podcast to share my journey with FASD. Thank you so much.
Beyond 6 Seconds: a neurodiversity podcast@Beyond6S

In my latest episode, @JB_TalksFASD describes how getting a late diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder completely transformed how she viewed herself and her previously unexplained physical and mental health struggles: beyond6seconds.net/229 #FASDawareness #KnowFASD #FASD

Karyn wants all young people in her community who live with FASD to thrive. That’s why she established Auntie’s Place. It's a community-led safe space where young people learn about alcohol and other drugs, and mental health, from local aunties and uncles. #RedShoesRock #FASD

I'M READY! I'll be rocking my #redshoes this September for #fasdawarenessmonth 🙌🏽 Alcohol and pregnancy do not mix, but we can drive prevention through awareness and support. Please help by getting involved and spreading the word "there is no safe level" #knowfasd

@NOFASDAustralia @NACCHOAustralia @FASDHub Throughout September we encourage everyone to wear red shoes or socks to spark conversations about this largely invisible disability. And there’s a bunch of ways to get involved!

@neurowiseuk I do use some metaphors for my executive function and working memory....my mum described it to me in a way that was really helpful and made a lot of sense, but also removes the onus being on the individual...." your brain does this.." instead of "you do this..."

@JB_TalksFASD Uneven neuropsychological profile is a really good way to describe it. Are there any metaphors for this you find useful?

A child with #FASD has an uneven neuropsychological profile, areas of development that are significantly impaired and fall below their chronological age; cause/effect reasoning, problem solving, verbal instructions, emotional/social difficulties and more sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/…

after watching this video, do you think its acceptable a distressed child with the capacity, reasoning and understanding of a 5 year old should be manhandled and treated this way? #nofasd #fasdawareness

No surpises here. Again we see the #alcoholindustry given a pass by our federal and state governments. I recently attended a summit with a focus on improving prenatal health without mention of #alcoholandpregnancy and its consequences. These decisions stink of agenda. Shameful.

“Why was alcohol not mentioned once in the outcomes of the National Cabinet meeting on violence against women? The reluctance to talk about alcohol not only invalidates the lived experience of these survivors, but creates policy paralysis.” womensagenda.com.au/latest/alcohol…

Im beyond. Thank you for those who have supported and scaffolded me to be in a place to help drive prevention through awareness. Alcohol in pregnancy is harmful with lifelong consequences, but we can create better outcomes with understanding and informed support #fasdawareness
