fasdNL is launching a monthly parent and caregiver support group in St. John's in April. The group is open to individuals caring for someone with confirmed or suspected diagnosis of FASD. Interested in attending? Email fetalalcoholnl@gmail.com
Thanks to Key Assets Newfoundland & Labrador for supporting this initiative!

Below is the upcoming schedule for individuals interested in attending Virtual Support Group meetings. Interested in attending? Email fetalalcoholnl@gmail.com

You can now support fasdNL by becoming a member of the fasdNL Network. As an active network member, you support our organization financially and become part of our work across Newfoundland and Labrador in supporting education, resource and support initiatives about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. By growing our membership, we expand our voice as a community organization working to bring attention and increased responses to FASD in the province. As a member, you will be able to respond to surveys or other inquiries that impact individuals, families and communities about FASD. You will be able to participate in our support initiatives for parents and caregivers, receive our updates and communications and receive a discount on your next training offered by fasdNL.
Our annual memberships are $10 for individuals and $50 for organizations.
To purchase a membership visit our Support fasdNL page in the main menu and choose Membership.

We've just added compiled daily living strategies for parents and caregivers of individuals with #FASD. Now available on our website under Resources.

Each strategy document is downloadable and printable.
The information is a compilation of everyday strategies and approaches used by parents and caregivers and parents of individuals with FASD. Each individual impacted by FASD has unique strengths and challenges. Therefore, not all strategies suggested will necessarily work for your situation. We recommend finding the best approach and routine that works for you and stick with it! 

CanFASD offers a free online training course Foundations in FASD. This basic training is a great introduction to FASD and takes approximately two hours to complete. It is available here. 

Due to last weekend's weather, two of our FASD day events were rescheduled to this coming weekend!
Please share widely with your networks for the events happening in Marystown on Friday, September 13th and in St. John's on Sunday, September 15th (more details in posters below).
