FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over nineteen years of lived experience.
Episode 90 features Heather Morris of "Nevada Families for FASD". Heather and Thomas Morris have 9 children, 4 of whom have special needs and 2 of whom have FASD. They started "Sugah Momma's Cookies" to teach job skills to their children with special needs, utilizing Heather's skills as a former pastry chef. After seeing the lack of services and recognition FASD had in Nevada, they began thinking about starting a nonprofit to benefit other families like theirs. It took several years of everything to work out, but today Nevada Families for FASD Awareness is operating and ready to serve their community.
In this hope-filled episode, Heather discusses the following: their family's unique journey, her journey as a parent to a parent advocate, the history of "Nevada Families for FASD", the goals / resources and supports provided by "Nevada Families for FASD" and her words of hope for families and those in the FASD community.
