Barb Clark

Barb Clark is the Director of Training at Families Rising (formerly NACAC). She is a parent to five adult children, one of whom is diagnosed with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Passionate about learning from her many mistakes, Barb doesn’t mind sharing them with others so they can avoid the same mistakes. Her humor and real-life experiences help professionals and caregivers challenge the use of traditional strategies and push them to think outside of the box. She graduated from the University of Minnesota in Youth Development but has learned more from her kids than she ever did in college.
