A key component of this continuum are relational-based supports as outlined in this resource.

Description

In this progress report, you will find an overview of the Government of Alberta’s FASD 10-year Strategic Plan after seven years. This evaluation was facilitated by PolicyWise for Children & Families. The full evaluation data can be found in the “Overview of Key Findings and Recommendations” document at fasd.alberta.ca. In most cases, we are well on our way to meeting our Year 10 targets. For example, 89% of Albertans surveyed indicate a high level of awareness around what causes FASD; 81% of women participating in the Parent-Child Assistance Program for three years, many of whom have dealt with serious addictions, are preventing FASD births. 90% of people are satisfied with their FASD supports—and research from Alberta is guiding best practices in the field.

Description

The Provincial FASD Service Network Program is made up of 12 Networks across the province, each providing a single point of entry for individuals and caregivers seeking assistance. The Networks are responsible for delivering FASD services across the lifespan in three areas: Awareness and Prevention, Assessment and Diagnosis, and Supports for Individuals and Caregivers. The Networks were established to help coordinate access to FASD supports across the lifespan, to enhance existing FASD services, and to build new ones where none exist. Networks are community-based and community-led and are the primary vehicle through which programs and services related to FASD are provided.
