FASD SERIES | From There to Here: A Story of Courage and Hope

May 8, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm PDT

SESSION INFO: « Back to all events
Join Paul Thompson and Glenda Jansen as they candidly share their lived experience; that of an individual who navigated homelessness from the age of 16 for thirty years with an undiagnosed disability (FASD), and that of the person who came into his life with unexpected advocacy and support. Courage, grace, and the power of relationship are woven throughout Paul and Glenda’s back-and-forth style presentation as they combine facts with story, humour and love through challenging times. Listeners will leave with a sense of hope, the understanding that it is never too late for a life to change, and learning what makes a difference to achieving positive outcomes.
