Healthy Child Manitoba

FASD Strategy

In April 2007, the Government of Manitoba announced a co-ordinated fetal alcohol spectrum disorder strategy developed by an interdepartmental committee in consultation with experts and community stakeholders. The strategy builds upon existing multi-departmental, multi-million dollar prevention activities and service supports available for individuals with FASD throughout the lifespan. The strategy also supports the work of the Changes for Children initiative, designed to enhance the child welfare system.

An interdepartmental committee with representation from Healthy Child Manitoba Office, Health, Healthy Living, Youth and Seniors, Family Services and Consumer Affairs, Housing and Community Development, Education, Justice, Aboriginal and Northern Affairs and the Changes for Children child and family services initiative has responsibility for implementing the strategy, with input from community partners.
