Manitoba's FASD Strategy
Consultation has concluded
The Manitoba Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Strategy is a partnership between government departments and community services across Manitoba, which ensures that all FASD initiatives work together to support people with FASD, their caregivers, and people who use alcohol during pregnancy.
In 2015, the Manitoba FASD Strategy held community conversations to update and improve FASD initiatives. Since that time, progress has been made on several of the priorities identified. Once again, we are asking our community to provide us with feedback on how we can continue to meet the goals of the Manitoba FASD Strategy.

More supports needed for youth with FASD
Youth with FASD face long wait lists for services. While they sit on those waitlists, they continue to struggle and are at increased risk for disengagement from school, justice involvement and/or substance misuse. They need timely access to strength-based, wrap around services to support their success at school, in the community and at home.

MB Community Mobilization and Safety Initiatives Network (JUS) has potential to provide support to people with FASD similar to Key Worker
