#090 Dr. Peter Choate: Trauma, FASD and Prevention

Send us a text

You know me. I’m a geek at heart. And I always say although I do know a lot about FASD, I’m not a doctor, a lawyer, or a social worker. That’s why I’m excited to bring you Dr. Peter Choate, a social worker, who has influenced my work. I must admit I was a bit nervous because of who he is. But Peter started off the interview with a dad joke and I knew we were on our way to a great conversation. 

Peter’s areas of research focus on child protection practice. He has been engaged in clinical private counseling and assessment practice with an emphasis on addictions, domestic violence, and child protection matters. 

This episode has everything. There were so many rabbit holes we went down: FASD prevention, stigma, judgment, trauma, addiction, exclusion, inclusion, epigenetics, harm reduction. It is hard to believe we fit it all in an hour – but we did 

I know when you are amid your own struggles and challenges it feels like no one is out there trying to change the system. But I hope the guests we bring to you on The FASD Success Show, like Dr. Peter Choate, help you understand that there are people out there and we are getting there.
