COMMUNITY & FAMILY STABILITY Programs

The primary aim of Whitecrow Village FASD Society is to provide families and communities with an understanding of FASD that will afford them the ability to regain hope and the strength to heal.  Whitecrow Village core programs offer fundamental stepping stones to enable communities to better examine the local causes of FASD and to provide practical support for the walk together toward prevention.  In addition to our L.I.F.E. Sessions, our Community & Family Stability programs include community and volunteer training sessions; motivational speaking and workshops for conferences, seminars, and other events; consultation and mentorship for professionals and local agencies; and ongoing support for families and persons affected by FASD.

Live In FASD Education (L.I.F.E.) Sessions ("Camps")

Our 7-8 day L.I.F.E. Sessions offer families and other participants a unique opportunity to learn, work, and play together as a community, and to gain what many describe as a life changing – even life saving – understanding of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.  Participants have the opportunity to interact with each other and with our team; to engage in classroom and experiential activities which offer them an understanding of the support needed for individuals who are affected by FASD; and to experience an environment where the contributions made by those with FASD are recognised and appreciated.
