FASD stands for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. It is a lifelong disability that affects the brain and body of people who were exposed to alcohol in the womb.
Can FASD is a Canada-Wide collaborative, interdisciplinary research network. It focuses on gaining knowledge and addressing facts surrounding FASD in order to develop prevention strategies, improve support services for people affected by FASD, and spread awareness in our communities. The Can FASD Website offers accredited professional development courses. Some of the basic courses are available to take free or charge, but there are also more advanced courses that are available to take for a fee.
