Family Navigator

Kristen Eriksen serves as an FASD United Family Navigator, as well as Caregiver Navigator at MassFASD, and is a nurse with over 35 years of varied experience, including pediatric and obstetrical nursing, early intervention developmental services, with a recent focus on school nursing. Her personal history of raising twins with FASD since infancy has led to a new and different career path.

After adopting infant twins in 2007, her entire life trajectory changed. Starting in 2010, she began a long, slow educational process to learn more about the challenges that the twins faced. When they were finally diagnosed with FASD at age 9, her deep dive into FASD began. She began working with MassFASD and began working as a Family Navigator at FASD United in 2022.
