Description:
Part of the Staff/Partners Videoconference FASD Learning Series, this is an excellent opportunity for those working in the field of FASD to learn about FASD and depression.
This video seminar features Jacqueline R. Pei, BA, MEd, PhD, Assistant Professor in Educational Psychology, U of A. Dr. Pei began her career in mental health as a forensic counsellor working with young offenders. This early experience led her to return to school where she earned her PhD studying memory impairment in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Now in private practice – as a registered psychologist specializing in neuropsychological assessment – Jacqueline also works with the Glenrose Hospital’s FASD diagnostic team, teaches psychology at several post-secondary institutions, and volunteers with the Edmonton Support Network Walk-In Counselling program.
Her passion for bringing together research and clinical practice has now led her to take on a new challenge as an Assistant Professor in Educational Psychology at the University of Alberta.
