September is FASD Awareness Month. It is a time to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and celebrate the strengths of individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), along with the families and communities who support them.

Our programs work alongside families to promote children's development, participation, and inclusion. An important part of this work is creating environments where children feel understood, valued, and accepted.

Every child develops in their own unique way. Understanding how FASD may affect learning, development, communication, behaviour, and daily life helps us better respond to individual needs while building on strengths.

Greater awareness of FASD supports culturally responsive, individualized, and strengths-based practices that help children and families thrive.
