Support for individuals and caregivers focus on the coordinated access to the right services at the right time. We want Albertans with FASD and their caregivers to have coordinated access to supports and services that meet their needs.

To better support youth and adults with FASD living in Edmonton and the surrounding area the Edmonton and Area Fetal Alcohol Network Society in collaboration with the Bissell Centre and Catholic Social Services has created Short-Term Intervention staffing positions.
