The Manitoba FASD Network’s Building Circles of Support is an educational series on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

The information series is for parents, caregivers, other family members and professionals who support children and youth 17 years old and younger recently seen or diagnosed at the Manitoba FASD Centre.

The information series runs twice per year: Once in the fall in person at SSCY, and once in the spring virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Topics often include, but are not limited to:

• What does it mean that my child has FASD?
• How will FASD affect their behaviour, school performance and social interactions?
• How can I help others understand my child’s disability?
• How can I help my child understand his/her disability?
• How can I help my child develop his/her strengths?

Please note that we will be discussing a different topic each week. We encourage you to commit to attend for the entire 7 weeks. Please note there will be a maximum of 50 participants registered for this series.

Upcoming dates will be posted on our News and Events Page once they have been confirmed, so check back!
