FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over nineteen years of lived experience.
May is Foster Care Awareness Month and Episode 133 features The Reel Hope Project and Abby Marino, who is the Director of Operations and Outreach at this Minnesota nonprofit organization. "The Reel Hope Project focuses on creating recruitment profile videos for foster youth with no chance of reunification. We work with counties and adoption agencies to find foster kids their forever families. Each video we create highlighting a child’s story helps to solidify the reality that foster youth enter the child welfare system through no fault of their own." (Source - The Reel Project)
