Beyond the Spectrum: FASD Conference 2024

During October 2024 our staff attended a 2 day conference in Edmonton Alberta hosted by the Lakeland center for FASD. The theme of the conference was “FASD: Beyond the Spectrum” and the sessions during to conference offered amazing perspectives of lived experience from individuals with FASD and professionals in the field. We learned about the benefits of a strength based approach as well as an array of therapy such as animal therapy and art therapy. This event was an amazing time to connect with others working in the field of FASD and develop a deeper understanding of the complexity which underlies FASD.
