Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: A Resource Guide For Service Providers


This comprehensive booklet, adapted for use in Saskatchewan, is designed to support service providers in their work with individuals and families impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Originally developed through the Canadian FASD Mentoring Project and led by the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute, the resource offers a trauma-informed, strengths-based overview of FASD. It provides essential information about alcohol and pregnancy, the diagnostic process, brain-based impacts, and practical, culturally informed strategies to enhance success for children, families, and communities. Whether you’re new to FASD or looking to deepen your understanding, this guide is a valuable tool for building compassionate, informed, and effective support systems.
