Kristen joins FASD United as part of a pilot program with the FASD United Affiliate Network. A cooperative agreement with the FASD United Affiliate MassFAS has allowed Kristin to join our Family Navigation Team as a contractor. Read more about this pilot program here.

Kristen Eriksen RN, Co-coordinator of massFAS, has been 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, my entire life trajectory changed. Starting in 2010, I began a long slow educational process to learn more about the challenges that my twins faced. When they were finally diagnosed with FASD at age 9, my deep dive into FASD began.” She began working with massFAS in January, 2022.
