Abstract
- My name is Lee Harvey Heath. I was born with alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder. I was diagnosed at the age of 26. I founded FASD Devon & Cornwall consultancy, a growing organisation that I am going to be registering as a community interest company. We provide one-to-one consultations, advice, information, education, and raise awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, in the southwest. As well as doing public talks, we host support group and being the voice of those affected by prenatal exposure to alcohol around the UK. So far, I have met with local city councillors, local media, started one-to-one mentoring, helped individuals receive a diagnosis, educated adopters and foster carers all through my own personal experiences of living with FASD.
