There is a saying that none of us knew what we didn’t know until we finally learned it. Kasper’s FASD Life Coaching & Training LLC was formed to bring awareness of the myriad of things not widely known about the impacts of prenatal alcohol exposure to individuals, families and communities. Through coaching services offered to adults who have been directly affected as well as to parents of children and youth, and through professional development training, Patti Kasper seeks to enhance understanding and acceptance of individual differences in all of one’s relationships, including one’s experience of self, family and work. Because professionals cannot teach what they have never learned, Patti also conducts professional development training, in an effort to enhance an agency’s or provider’s support of those affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol at an exponential rate.
Patti has led workshops in the areas of adoption, trauma and resiliency, attachment, FASD and neurobehavior for several years. Her former role as a hospice chaplain has reinforced her desire to help others live life well and end the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
