Tiga Bayles and Amy McQuire talk to Gomeroi woman Dr Jan Hammill about the effects of drinking in pregnancy. Dr Hammill coordinates the Collaboration for Alcohol Related Developmental Disorders. We spoke about how we have to change the attitudes around alcohol in mainstream culture, not just Aboriginal culture as a way to bring down Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
Dr Hammill has been working in the area since the 90s.
We also spoke about the impact of stress on early childhood development.
