SUMMARY:ALC of FASD Changemakers: Lay of the Land Survey #2 - Quality of Life Survey in 460+ Adults with FASD
DESCRIPTION:Live Interactive Online Training offered on Zoom \nDate:  Tuesday\, November 18\, 2025Time:  1:00 – 2:30 pm ESTIntroductory Training:  FREE \nTraining Description: \nThe second of two published researches with the Adult Leadership Collaborative Changemakers. \nIn 2019\, the ALC did its second Lay of the Land Survey on the quality of life of teens and adults with FASD because they believed there was a significant problem in this area\, and that no data existed on the lives of those with FASD in adulthood. This workshop will provide the results of this survey which was completed in 2020. Using the same format as in Survey #1\, the survey was designed and developed by the ALC\, with questions the ALC knew were important to answer. It includes information on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and something they developed and call Adverse Continuing Experiences in Adulthood or ACES-A.\, housing\, homelessness\, parenting\, relationships\, education\, employment\, finances\, victimization\, etc. The results on 461 adults have been widely presented\, including to NIAAA. \nThe Florida Center for Early Childhood\, home to Florida’s only FASD Diagnostic Clinics\, located in Sarasota\, Orlando\, and the panhandle. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify key findings from the 2020 ALC Lay of the Land Survey on adults with FASD.\nDescribe the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Adverse Continuing Experiences in Adulthood (ACEs-A) on individuals with FASD.\nSummarize challenges faced by adults with FASD in areas such as housing\, employment\, relationships\, and victimization.\n\n  \nALC – FASD Changemakers \n The International Adult Leadership Collaborative (ALC) of FASD Changemakers is a well known group of citizen researchers and experts who each have diagnosed FASD. It is made up of 16 members. As a group\, they have experienced all the events commonly associated with FASD but have learned how to overcome obstacles\, maximize potential and re-define success. They use their combined living experience to work together as consultants\, advisors\, trainers\, presenters\, mentors\, group moderators\, bloggers\, and as research project team members for universities and national organizations\, centres and associations in several countries.   They have organized\, initiated\, designed\, developed and led full 3-day program conferences for teens and adults with FASD in both Vancouver and Seattle since 2014.  As well\, they develop and lead their own survey research\, which has received wide interest by researchers\, institutions\, organizations\, systems\, and government and is currently being used to help focus research directions and questions.  Their first survey on the health of 500 adults with diagnosed FASD was published in 2020\, and their second survey on the quality of life of 450 adults with diagnosed FASD was published in 2024.  A third Lay of the Land survey is currently in the initial stages of discussion. \nPresenters: \nCJ Lutke – CanadaCJ Lutke\, who is 41\, was diagnosed with full FAS at birth and adopted by her foster family at age five\, who had already adopted her older brother and sister who also have FASD.  She is a well-known speaker on FASD\, having presented at and participated in many conferences\, seminars\, training sessions and other events for over 20 years.  CJ is a systems changer and advocate\, provides advice and consultation and participates as an advisor and team member for different research projects.  She currently sits on various committees\, including one to make changes to the family court system in British Columbia (BC)\, chaired by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of BC\, and has just been asked to be on a research project on suicidality in those with FASD by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health\, the national centre in Canada.  She provides mentoring to younger adults with FASD and is the author of an on-line blog that is hosted by NOFASD Australia which is followed globally.  As well\, CJ has been a member of the Adult Leadership Committee (ALC) of FASD Changemakers for 15 year and was one of its founders.  She was the co-lead on their first ground-breaking Lay of the Land Survey on the health and physical issues of adults with diagnosed FASD that has received wide international attention and was published in 2020.  CJ was the lead author on their second Lay of the Land Survey on the Quality of Life of Adults with diagnosed FASD\, results of which have been presented widely including to NIAAA and were published in 2024.  As well\, CJ became an adoptive parent when she adopted her now 12-year-old son (with FASD) from foster care when he was seven.
