Chantal Genova | We chatted with Angela Geddes CYW, BA(Psych), MSW, RSW about her book - A Complicated and Beautiful Brain, supports and services for FASD, early intervention and advocacy.

Angela is a Social Worker in private practice with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families with complicated mental health and learning challenges in a variety of settings. She has a particular interest in FASD and has continued her research; both formal and informal dedicated to understanding what FASD looks like across the lifespan and across sectors from the family and front-line perspective. She recently authored a book titled, A Complicated and Beautiful Brain, to help deepen understanding of the condition itself, reduce the stigma, and to highlight how many ‘missed ones’ there are out there who are struggling to be better understood. Her focus today is to work towards reducing both the impact and the incidents of alcohol exposed pregnancies.
