FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience. Episode 42 features Gwen Bartley, Founder and Executive Director of the Nonprofit Organization, "Amazing Grace Advocacy".  Gwen is a mom to five children, three of which came through foster care / domestic adoption and have brain-based diagnoses as a result of exposure to alcohol and substances in utero. Gwen founded Amazing Grace Advocacy with a vow to help other families navigate the complex systems that serve our children. Two of her children have a dual diagnosis of mental health and intellectual disabilities and they were stuck in limbo between these two systems. In devoting a lot of time to fight for services, Gwen was able to achieve what was needed for her children's care and success. Gwen also has a now-adult child who is battling substance abuse disorder. Gwen shares her story, experiences and compassion to serve and help others in achieving peace and quality of life for other families raising children with FASD, Brain Based Diagnoses and Trauma.  In this INSPIRATIONAL conversation, Gwen and Natalie (podcast host) discuss the following topics: Gwen's journey as a mom and how she built her family through birth, domestic adoption and foster care adoption; the journey and experiences of Gwen's family with FASD / prenatal substance exposure / trauma; how Gwen inspired Natalie when they met at the Exceptional Children's Assistance Center (ECAC) first ever Parent Leadership Conference in 2019; Amazing Grace Advocacy; how Gwen's faith has carried her through her journey as a mom; resources and events provided by Amazing Grace Advocacy and her words of hope for other parents on this journey.  "But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what He wants. Then, the other things will be yours as well." - Matthew 6:33   EPISODE RESOURCES-Amazing Grace Advocacyhttps://amazingraceadvocacy.org/"Every Life Has a Purpose, Navigating Families to Hope and Success"Gwen Bartley, Executive DirectorFacebook - @amazinggraceadvocacyTwitter - @amazgraceadvocaInstagram - @aga6:33 FASD Hope-https://www.fasdhope.com/Natalie Vecchione (podcast host) - natalie@fasdhope.comInstagram - @fasdhopeFacebook - @fasdhope1Pinterest - @fasdhope1Clubhouse - @natalievecc

42 - Amazing Grace Advocacy: A Conversation with Gwen Bartley

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33   Caring for individuals with trauma, including brain-based disabilities, is a difficult road to navigate. Daily struggles managing behaviors, educational and medical needs, and lack of support often takes a toll on marriages, siblings, and caregiver’s health.   On this week’s episode of Orphans No More, host Sandra Flach talks with adoptive mom, Gwen Bartley. Gwen struggled to meet the needs of her three adopted children, each with various mental health and intellectual disabilities. Fighting for services led her to establish Amazing Grace Advocacy—a nonprofit organization supporting families affected by brain disorders.    Please be sure to subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it on your social media.
