CJ Lutke is from Canada. She was both in 1984 and adopted by her foster family when she was five, along with an older brother and sister who also have FASD. CJ was diagnosed with FASD when she was a baby.
CJ has been a member of Changemakers for many years – this is a group of adults with FASD from around the world who are committing to bringing awareness about FASD to the general public and professionals.
She has spoken on FASD at many conferences, seminars, training sessions and other events over 20 years. She provides advice and consultation and participates as an advisor to research projects, including in health reform and in law and justice settings.
CJ believes that those with FASD must challenge what people think about possibilities and outcomes for those with FASD. Her goal is to help others with FASD find their voice and to understand that we are greater when we work together.
