DESCRIPTION:RSVP By March 22nd to pamela.weightman [at] mcgill.ca .\n\nGrow
 ing up is never easy! Hitting the adolescent stage of life is challenging\
 , even for those fortunate to have all the resources at hand to navigate t
 his difficult developmental life stage. Adolescents living with the neurod
 isability of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) encounter multiple add
 itional challenges in navigating this stage of life. Living with an FASD i
 s a life-long challenge\, but perhaps is most acute and challenging during
  the choppy waters of adolescence. Moment to Moment: Teens Growing Up with
  FASDs (screened under license) documents the lives of four teenagers livi
 ng with an FASD.\n\nAll adolescents face challenges associated with reachi
 ng and maturing into young adulthood. The normal development of slowly dev
 eloping independence\, sexual identity\, and career trajectories are compl
 ex tasks. Adolescents living with a brain impairment related to prenatal a
 lcohol exposure (PNE) face significant difficulties in both executive func
 tioning and adaptive behaviors. A substantive body of empirical literature
  documents the potential painful slide into the criminal justice system\, 
 school failure\, homelessness and mental health illness when supports and 
 services are not available. As the adolescent get older\, mood disorder\, 
 anxiety and depression further exacerbates their ability to successfully n
 avigate a successful path to independent adulthood. Building collaborative
  systems of care for this vulnerable population is a critical step in decr
 easing the societal burden of FASD and its personal and fiscal costs to fa
 milies\, and increasing the likelihood that those living with an FASD can 
 lead productive and fulfilling lives.\n\nMoment to Moment: Teens Growing u
 p With FASDs offers a very personal\, thought provoking and intimate eye-o
 pening journey into the lives of four teenagers living with an FASD and th
 eir families. The movie accurately documents how these teens are failing i
 n our social support system\, which does not provide the knowledge\, skill
 s\, and resources to guide young people living with an FASD. Narrated by D
 r Ira Chasnoff\, an international expert on the psychosocial aspects of li
 ving with an FASD\, the movie is valuable learning tool for ALL involved i
 n health & social services delivery.\n\nThe movie will followed by a 30 mi
 nute discussion period\, facilitated by Liam Curran\, INDI Ph.D. Candidate
 \, currently researching the impact of FASDs on  child welfare and on soci
 al work practice. \n\nMunchies & drinks will be served.\n
