Angela Geddes Integrative Support and Wellness

When we see high energy, endless questions, or fierce persistence, we often label them as disruptions. In reality, these are strengths like leadership and empathy that simply need structure to shine. By meeting these traits with curiosity instead of criticism, we help our loved ones see their spirit as a gift rather than a flaw.

We’re bringing two powerful, deeply human conversations to the FASD United 2026 Conference:

✨ Not Your Typical Growing Up & Adulting Guide
✨ Seeing the Unseen: How Social Workers and Allied Health Practitioners Can Transform FASD Identification and Support

Two sessions. One shared goal: better support for complicated & beautiful brains.

These conversations are designed to challenge assumptions, deepen understanding, and offer practical strategies—grounded in real experience and a commitment to doing better.

📅 Pre-conference: April 18
📅 Main Conference: April 19–21

So glad to be returning as a speaker at the 10th Annual FASD United International Conference on Adolescents and Adults with FASD—such a meaningful and impactful event.

⏳ Just ONE WEEK until !

In one week, leaders in research, living experience, practice, and policy will come together in to move the FASD field forward. This is more than a conference. It is where conversations turn into action, connections turn into collaboration, and knowledge turns into impact.

Will you be there?

# FASDTraining

Prevalence rates for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder are now estimated at 4% to 8% of the population. This means it is more common than Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and Tourette’s Syndrome combined. Despite this, it remains a "disguised disability" because fewer than 10% of those affected have notable facial features.

“What if the problem isn’t the person… but the approach?”

Fewer than 1% of individuals with FASD are diagnosed.
That means most people are being misunderstood.

A call to do things differently.

03/25/2026

Looking forward to working with Quad County Support Services to share some of what I’ve learned about complex symptoms that come with hidden neurodevelopmental disorders ie learning differences, ASD, ADHD + complicated mental health conditions etc. We will be talking about the implications for individuals, families and services providers. Participants will be better positioned to screen for brain based symptoms and to be able to support people in more helpful and relevant ways. Come on out if you can and feel free to share!

You are invited to attend A Complicated and Beautiful Brain! A full‑day training focused on understanding complex neurodevelopmental disorders, including FASD. Facilitated by Angela Geddes, MSW, RSW, this training looks at how the brain influences behaviour, why thoughtful screening and assessment matter, and how supportive, family‑centred approaches can make a meaningful difference. Registration is required.
