"Defiance isn't always defiance. In individuals with an FASD, challenging behaviors often stem from brain-based differences—not intentional resistance. Join Proof Alliance's EmpowerEd webinar, Defiance Decoded: What It Really Means & How To Respond, on Thursday, November 6, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CST to learn how to reframe behaviors as signals of unmet needs, dysregulation, or skill gaps. Join other caregivers with speaker Dr. Jana Hunsley, LCSW, to develop strength-based solutions that enhance your family's well-being and quality of life. Her approach to addressing the needs of every family is part of her dedication to supporting foster and adoptive families."
