Peer Support in FASD – Early Intervention and Prevention
Wednesday, March 9, 2016
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET
In the third instalment of our FASD Webinar Series, created in partnership with the Public Health Agency of Canada, we will be exploring three outreach programs working with high risk women. The programs reflect the unique characteristics of the communities they serve and aim to produce multidimensional outcomes, improved overall social functioning, and reduction of risk to the mother and target child
With prevention as the primary goal, our panellists will discuss prevention and early intervention programs for pregnant women and mother who are substance-involved, and their young children.
We will be welcoming representatives from
- InSight Mentoring Program in Manitoba
- The Alberta Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP) Council
- Mothercraft’s Breaking the Cycle (BTC) in Ontario
Please join us for a discussion on prevention, support, mentorship, and outcomes in these leading FASD outreach programs.

Research on Adolescents and Adults: If Not Now, When?
The 7th National Biennial Conference on Adolescents and Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Although there have been thousands of published articles in FASD in general, there has been limited research specifically on adolescents and adults with FASD or on individuals across the lifespan. As those individuals diagnosed with FASD continue to age, the “need to know” across a broad spectrum of areas is becoming critically important for identifying clinically relevant research questions and directions.
This interactive 2016 conference will provide an opportunity to be at the forefront of addressing these issues. We will welcome a diverse group of professionals, researchers, students, families and individuals with FASD.
Contribute your knowledge and research! The Call for Abstracts is open until September 11, 2015. More details here: http://interprofessional.ubc.
