FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.

Jen Parke is a Social Worker and Social Work Supervisor in Child Welfare. While working full time in the field of Social Work, as a single mom, Jen also pursued her Masters Degree in Social Work. Jen has a podcast, "Adventures of a New You", and she offers coaching and support for social workers to overcome feeling overwhelmed and to begin feeling bold and brave.

In this thoughtful conversation, Natalie (podcast host) and Jen explore the following topics: Jen's background in Social Work, her current work experiences in Social Work, how Natalie's being a guest on Jen's podcast changed Jen's perspective about FASD from Natalie, how  social workers may view prenatal alcohol exposure versus drug exposure, Jen's podcast "Adventures of a New You" and Jen's words of hope (with a end of the episode surprise cameo!).
