Description:
'Special help is given to parents raising children affected by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD). The program aims to reduce the occurrence of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) in the community. Women at a high risk of having an affected child can get the support they need to make positive lifestyle changes. Awareness of the dangers of drinking during pregnancy is a major component of the program with staff making presentations and being available at community events. In a recent development, Bissell Centre now offers support to adults suffering from FASD to help them maintain a positive lifestyle and prevent the development of secondary disabilities.'
Parent Child Advocacy
Parent Child Advocacy provides long-term support to women wanting a healthy pregnancy and child.
Adult Advocacy

Community Education
