Following the closure of Health Nexus on March 31, 2026, Partners for Planning (P4P) will be managing and updating this website and the FASD Family & Caregiver Support Group Grants. We are dedicated to ensuring a seamless experience and appreciate your continued patience during this transition.
In this virtual training, Nancy Lockwood interviews Reinier deSmit about receiving an FASD diagnosis at the age of 56. Reinier shares how he always felt different but never knew why until his diagnosis provided clarity and self-acceptance. He discusses the impact on his relationships, health, and finances, as well as the challenges and benefits of disclosure. Reinier’s story highlights the importance of adult diagnosis and self-understanding.
