Manitoba's FASD Strategy

Together we are Stronger: Continuing the success of Manitoba’s FASD Strategy 

 

Each year the Manitoba government continues to invest in and expand the 2007 Interdepartmental FASD Strategy. The strategy remains committed to realizing five important goals:

Knowledge: Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause FASD

Prevention: Before, during and after pregnancy, girls and women have information, support and services

Intervention: People with FASD and their families have assessment and diagnostic opportunities, supports and services

Evidence: Services are based on strong research, evaluation and community input

Quality: Trained service providers using best practice approaches
