SUMMARY:FASD and the Law
DESCRIPTION:People with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) are overrepresented in the justice system—yet the system continues to rely on approaches that simply don’t work for them. Challenges with memory\, impulse control\, and vulnerability to manipulation can pull individuals with FASD into repeated contact with police\, courts\, and corrections. Estimates suggest that at least 20% of people in custody live with FASD\, and experts believe the real number is far higher. \nEnter David Boulding—a dynamic speaker\, seasoned lawyer\, and internationally recognized advocate for neuro-informed justice. With his trademark clarity\, insight\, and humour\, David will reveal why traditional justice responses often fail individuals with FASD and what actually leads to better outcomes. He’ll share real-world stories\, practical tools\, and innovative strategies that support safety\, accountability\, and dignity. \nIf you work with\, support\, or care about people with FASD—or if you’re committed to building a more effective and compassionate justice system—this session will deepen your understanding\, spark new ideas\, and offer practical solutions you can use immediately. \n  \nCLICK TO REGISTER\n  \nFamily Support Institute of BC (FSI) is a provincial not-for-profit society committed to supporting families who have a family member with a disability.
