New Perspectives on Transitions and FASD [report]

Description:
This document, produced by the Calgary Fetal Alcohol Network and the United Way, is intended to "shed light on the transitioning issues with people who are affected by FASD." It researches and summarizes the following:
• the impact of FASD upon the daily lives of young people
• the vulnerabilities faced by young people and the potential consequences of those vulnerabilities
• an examination of models of support and intervention that have been shown to be effective for individuals affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and that hold promise of providing protective factors to counteract the vulnerabilities
• identification of “themes” that require further attention and continuing development to ensure that adults with FASD will, in the future, have the supports and resources required to live inclusive, valued lives in communities of their choosing.

New Transitions to Adulthood link goes to a commerical website on home improvement and not anything on FASD.

Hi Kelly: Thanks for catching that. We have now updated the page so that it goes where it should. Rob
