Family Circles Program
"Teaching Circles: Three circles meet every week. Each Circle is supported by Traditionalists. The Circles are a way to promote peer support and to promote growth and healing. Individual and family counselling is also a part of this program.
The Women's Circle is available to Aboriginal women at risk of having an FASD child. The primary goal of this circle is to increase knowledge of the cause and impact of FASD with the aim of preventing FASD. Women of child bearing ages (teens to midlife) are eligible for this circle.
The Parents' Circle offers support to those parents and caregivers raising an FASD affected child. A formal FASD diagnosis for the child is not required for referral. This circle is available to Aboriginal parents or caregivers or non-Aboriginal parents or caregivers raising an Aboriginal child.
The Walking Together Parents' Circle is available to Aboriginal adults affected by FASD who are themselves parenting." (from their brochure)

[Jen: thanks for your comment. We checked into it, and it turns out that the FASD specific programming is closed. We've updated the item above to reflect this info.
