FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over twenty one years of living experience.
Episode 173 welcomes back Kathryn "Kat" Meinhardt (Episode 99 - "Kansas FASD Support Network") of Dream Acres: An FASD Community. Kathryn is a licensed social worker, foster/adoptive/bio mom, TBRI® Practitioner and FASD speaker/educator. She, along with her husband Cliff, parent 11 children 9 of whom experienced various levels of prenatal exposures. It was out of the realization that the teens would be needing supportive living and an initial plan of tiny houses on the farm for just their children that the idea of a community was birthed and Dream Acres came to life.
Dream Acres is a nonprofit organization and a proud FASD United Affiliate. Dream Acres is developing a brand new, supported living environment for individuals (ages 18-25) living with FASD. The small, family-style living will allow 2-3 residents to have private rooms and common areas in each cabin. Dream Acres will take great care to evaluate every applicant, so that everyone will be set up for success. On-site job training options will also fit the various interests of each resident. Potential career option and training includes food services, animal care, landscaping, agriculture, aquaponics and more!
