September 9, 2010 FASD Awareness Day



Join us at the Penticton Okanagan College theatre on Sept. 9th from 7 pm - 9 pm for a special viewing of the "Myles Himmelreich Story - FASD Realities and Possibilities".

Myles Himmelreich, a young man from Alberta, lives with FASD. He eloquently speaks about his experiences, including both his challenges and his many successes. Myles is a seasoned presenter who has told his story to national and international audiences that include professionals, caregivers and individuals who are themselves affected by FASD.

In this documentary, Myles courageously tells his story, speaking candidly about the issues he continues to face, as well as the strategies he has used to manage and overcome them.


Following the DVD presentation there will be a panel of experienced parents and caregivers to answer your questions and share their real life challenges and successes.

This is a FREE event sponsored by PDCRS - FASD Key Worker program.
