Building Awareness and Understanding About FASD

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a disability that requires unique
supports and interventions. The Hamilton Community recognized the need for
education, outreach and training for caregivers and service providers who support
individuals with confirmed or suspected FASD.

The Hamilton FASD Collaborative was formed to meet this need.
The Hamilton FASD Collaborative is a group of service providers dedicated to
supporting and growing awareness about FASD. The Hamilton FASD Collaborative
has representatives from Hamilton services providers in child protection, adult
developmental services, education, substance use, indigenous, mental health, and
justice. Each of these stakeholders provide services in kind.
The Hamilton FASD Resource Team, as part of the Collaborative, provides
Community Education sessions, In-service Training and Case conferences to
families, caregivers and service providers that support individuals with confirmed or
suspected FASD.
