In this Research & Resources Edition of FASD Family Life Research & Resources edition I am delighted to speak with Aliciam Munn, Executive Director of the Fredricton FASD Support Group, about TOGETHER FOR FASD - an Atlantic Canada Conference.
This is a one-day event that brings together experts, community members, and service providers to share knowledge, empower collaboration, and inspire action to address the complexities of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) in the Atlantic provinces.
The conference will host 2 keynote talks by Dr. Jaqueline Pei and 4 sessions that will cover local services, lived experiences, FASD projects across the globe, and the Claudette Bradshaw FASD Innovation Award recipient presentation.
This event is hosted in partnership with CanFASD, the New Brunswick Child and Youth Advocate, The New Brunswick FASD Centre of Excellence, the Fredericton FASD Support Group and the Moncton FASD Support Group.
