FASD Awareness Webinar #12 - Andrew Keeping interviews

Tristan Casson-Rennie

Tristan Casson-Rennie is an adoptive parent with his husband Scott, to 3 sons. After many years working in the rail industry Tristan took early retirement in 2014 and swapped roles with Scott to become a stay at home Dad to their newly placed third son, who has FASD. Returning to Ireland in 2018 Tristan noted the lack of any awareness of FASD across the country and frustrated, began his attempts to educate and raise awareness, which resulted in the launch of FASD Ireland on September 9th 2021.


Hear directly from Tristan about his and Scott's journey with their child with FASD and what led them to set up a new FASD organisation in Ireland which aims to reinvigorate and educate and to put some fire in the bellies of the people who can make decisions so that support can be provided for the young people, children and young adults, that live with FASD.
